Farmers Market Season starts in just one short week! Next Thursday from 3-630pm, me and all the rest of the market vendors will be at the Libby Chamber parking lot with booths full of locally grown, raised, and made food and goods. Then on Saturday, May 4th, hop over to Kalispell to find me amongst the best of the Flathead Valley and beyond! Come by to pick up some epic dried flowers (while we wait for the fresh ones to arrive, April showers bring May flowers right?), microgreens to get you ready for the abundance of summer produce, and learn all about the on-farm classes coming up this season. And, if you want a reason to get out and see all the native May flowers that spring brings don't forget to check out both the Hike on May 12th, led by yours truly, and the 4 part class in Troy (all the details and sign up links below)! So dust off those reusable market bags, get your comfy kicks ready, and boogie on down to the markets next week!

Farmers Market at Libby Opening Day: Libby, MT: Thursday, May 2nd Kalispell Farmers Market Opening Day: Kalispell, MT: Saturday, May 4th Kootenai Country Wildflower ID Hike: Old Hwy 2 Trail: May 12th Join us for a scenic hike along Old Highway 2 trail to Shannon lake. Our route features fantastic views of Kootenai Falls and the river valley. We'll stop to identify plants and wildflowers along the way, including several wildflower varieties near Shannon Lake that are harder to find without a steeper or longer hike. There is a short scramble up to the lake, but the trail is otherwise gradual and wide, with a few interpretive displays about the history of the old road and area. Spring is the best and most bountiful wildflower time along this accessible and enjoyable trail. We'' end early enough for participants to explore the adjacent Kootenai Falls and Swinging Bridge afterward if they want to. Sign up here! Everything Dandelion! Class: Dragon's Breath Farm: May 19th Dandelion is both food and medicine. Learn how to prepare and appreciate this often attacked plant. Take home recipes and a few new favorite snacks!
