Hailey Farmers' Market
About the Market
Background
Open seasonally from June to October, this market has become a community hub where local producers and artisans gather to sell their goods. Over the years, it has expanded to include a diverse range of vendors, from fruit and vegetable growers to bakers and crafters.
Practices
Vendors at the market focus on providing fresh, locally-produced goods. The market encourages sustainable practices by promoting the use of reusable bags and offering tote bags for purchase. Additionally, the market supports local food accessibility through partnerships that allow the acceptance of food stamps and programs like Fresh Bucks, which double the value of EBT card purchases for fresh food.
The Rest
Parking is available at the Park & Ride and along Main Street, but visitors are encouraged to bike or walk. The market features a main grass area where shoppers can leave their bikes, relax on blankets, and enjoy live music. Occasional raffles are held, and winners are announced at 4:00 PM. New vendors this year include Best of Bellevue and Wood River Ranch, offering a variety of prepared foods. The market also sells a range of crafts, including jewelry, pottery, and handmade wood products.
