New Season, New Hours

NewsHours, Nampa Farmers Market

One thing we often hear from our customers at the Nampa Farmers Market is, “I wish you were open longer.” Well, we are doing something about it! Starting this season, the Nampa Farmers Market will be open for thirty minutes longer. We have expanded our hours. We are still opening at 9:00 AM but now closing at 1:30 PM. This will give our customers another half hour to shop, eat lunch at the Market, and not be in such a rush. What will you do with that extra 30 minutes?

Nampa Farmers Market Gets New Look

News

See something different? The Nampa Farmers Market has had a face lift! We're just 32 years old, but it was time for a little nip and tuck in the image department! We started with a whole new logo. This logo gives recognition and pays homage to the whole reason we are here. The tradition of farming. It also gives a hat tip to the fact that our Farmers Market location is Lloyd Square - for years the site of Lloyd Lumber. The logo is bold, easily recognizable, and, if we don't mind saying so ourselves, beautiful. Next, our website has…
