Upcoming Chef Demonstrations
August 31, 2009
Currently for September we have a couple of great chefs from Hailey restaurants that will be giving demonstrations on how to get some great results from your market purchases. Using items from the market that day you can learn how to create some quick and easy recipes with the freshest of ingredients.
September 10th in Hailey Derek Gallegos from 310 Main.
September 24 Jake Kraft from Fresshies.
These demonstrations are always very popular. Check back for further listings as we add more chefs.
Wood River Farmer’s Market September 1 & 3
August 31, 2009
August has gone by in a rush and September is upon us bringing with it all the bounty of summer harvests. Except for some late Fall fruits you can now find most whatever can be grown in our central Idaho climate available at our vendors booths. Heirloom tomatoes, corn, plums, pears, squash have been some favorite items lately. Keep an eye out for gourds and pumpkins arriving as well as the mood shifts towards fall. Of course all the ready to eat foods offer quick and easy ways to pick up a meal on the go and still have a delicious, local treat.
This week Thomas Paul will be playing music at the Ketchum Market on 9-1 and Andrew Toft bring to the Hailey Market some fine fiddle playing from Twin Falls on 9-3.
See you at the markets.
Wood River Farmer’s Markets August 18 & 20
August 17, 2009
Growing season for our farmers is really hitting full stride and vendors booth are overflowing with mid-summer goodness (see the seasonal produce calendar as a good overview of what is available). Not only is this great for feasting on the freshest of fruits and vegetable but now is a good time to make purchases for canning and long term storage. Talk with your favorite vendors about making a bulk purchase and get some good ideas for long term storage of their products. That way you can store away a bit of summer to enjoy on a cold winters day.
This week Tuck Wilson will be playing tunes in Ketchum – Hailey music is ‘To Be Announced’ but we hope to have a special surprise.
At both markets this week Derek Gallegos – owner of 310 Main in Hailey will be giving chef demonstrations using items available the market. These demonstrations are very popular and an excellent way to learn new ideas for your market purchases.
