Farmers’ Market Vendor Spotlight

623

The Wood River Farmers’ Market is your go-to place for fresh, local, nutritious and handmade products. Direct purchase from our vendors builds our local economy. Get to know where your food comes from. The produce is fresh-picked that day or the day before it comes to you at the markets. We believe in providing nutritionally complete food that tastes fresh and sweet. Our products provide more value as they last longer than products shipped often thousands of miles before customer purchase.

Markets are Tuesday in Ketchum on 4th Street and Thursday in Hailey on Main Street next to Sturtos – both open from 2-6 p.m. through October 13. Come see us!

Sweet Indulgence

Kristy Livermore is the mastermind behind Sweet Indulgence. Kristy went to culinary school in Singapore for a year and worked at an Italian restaurant, Zambuca.

Since returning to the Wood River Valley, she has worked at several restaurants, including Cowboy Cocina. She enjoys baking for the Hailey and Ketchum Farmers’ Markets and being part of the local food scene. Kristy is interested in Italian desserts and each week tries a new recipe along with her standard fare, including her splendid varieties of cookies, cakes, muffins, tarts and sweet breads. Kristy also offers many gluten-free items.

When at the markets, stop by Kristy’s Sweet Indulgence booth and take home some mouth-watering desserts.

T and M Gardens

T and M Gardens is a family-run business based in Twin Falls. Tanya and Mike Ovchazenko are the owners. Their son comes to market with Tanya to sell incredible produce with early producing carrots, beets, cucumbers, onions, garlic, plus a lot of fruit including cherries, Cornelian cherries, blueberries, strawberries and eggs.
