GARLICKY GOODNESS
Garlic Festival returns to the Farmers’ Market
By Jillian Chandler
August 22
THERE IS NOTHING LIKE THE ABUNDANCE OF FRESH PRODUCE ONE CAN FIND DURING THESE WARMER SUMMER MONTHS, and right here in Bonners Ferry, the bounty is plentiful, as local farmers and producers devote their time tending to their gardens and sharing the fruits of their labor with those in the community. Throughout the market season, the Bonners Ferry Farmers’ Market holds various events to celebrate. Mark your calendar for Saturday, August 22, for this year’s Garlic Festival.
“There will be a number of garlic vendors, including decorative garlic braids, that make excellent gifts,” says Kate Painter, who is a member of the board of directors for the market.
Boundary County has a number of garlic producers, and Marsha Semar, who is working hard to promote this year’s Garlic Festival, is sure to once again make it a festive event! “Marsha herself produces a large amount of organic garlic, and she also creates artistic arrangements with dried flowers woven into her garlic braids,” says Kate.
The Garlic Festival will be flourishing with plenty of garlic, as well as all delicious in-season goods. Live music will accompany the event, as the marimba band Coeurimba, out of Coeur d'Alene, will be performing for market-goers from 9:30 to 11am.
The Bonners Ferry Farmers' Market invites the community to join them every Saturday, 8am to 1pm, at City Parking Lot. Upcoming events include the Bonners Ferry Farmers' Market's Harvest Party on September 19, Customer Appreciation and Last Day October 3, and the Holiday Market on November 21 (indoors).
