There will be an indoor farmers market this winter in Idaho Falls – East Idaho News
IDAHO FALLS — A popular local outdoor farmers market will now be going year-round after announcing there will be an indoor market.
The Idaho Falls Farmers Market will be having a “Winter Market” during the months of November to April.
“Last year, I kind of came up with the idea, and we actually did a winter/Christmas market in mid-December. That was kind of a trial and it was very well attended, very popular,” said Cort Pincock, president of the Idaho Falls Farmers Market. “So we decided this year that we wanted to do more of a monthly market throughout the off-season.”
The Idaho Falls Farmers Market, which is on Memorial Drive by the Snake River and typically runs from May to October, has about 100 to 125 vendors weekly.
The Winter Market will be located somewhere warm rather than outside. It will be at the Snake River Event Center/Shilo Inn at 780 Lindsay Boulevard.
It will be once a month on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Check out the poster below for details.
Pincock said they hope to have about 75 vendors at the event space. There will also be food trucks outside.
He said it will be a little bit different from the summer months but there will still be plenty of options.
“In the middle of the winter, we are not going to have tomatoes and the fresh fruits and veggies like we do in the summer of the Idaho Falls Farmers Market, but we are going to have the amazing artisans and the food, and a lot of the agriculture vendors. Many of them will still be there with meat, cheese, and bread,” he said.
Pincock told EastIdahoNews.com he is looking forward to the fun atmosphere where people can bring their families and enjoy time together, especially since it is a free event during the winter months.
He is encouraging people to come and support local.
“Our goal is to help small businesses locally, and we are a nonprofit organization, so coming out and supporting our events, you are really supporting local small businesses,” he said.

Cold front comes into Idaho after a rainy week
It was a rainy week with intense showers passing through the Treasure Valley. Sunday is expected to be clear but cooler weather and more precipitation is on the way.
I got to capture a phenomenal rainbow coming into the station today after some of the rain we saw on Saturday clear out.
The start of this wee will see some more rain on the way for Boise. Twin Fall will see their precipitation arrive between Monday and Tuesday with chances of rain snow/ mixes and possible accumulation.
A cold front will move in this week dropping temperatures. 40’s will turn into 30’s for the Magic and Treasure Valley’s. Mountains will expect a cool down as well. Thanksgiving is looking like a clear day though for most parts of Idaho.
Colder is coming this week, make sure to bundle up!

Idaho teen, 18, arrested after dead newborn found in hospital’s Safe Haven baby box
An Idaho teen is behind bars after a dead baby was found in a hospital drop-off box meant for the anonymous surrender of newborns.
Angel Newberry, 18, was arrested in Twin Falls more than a month after medical officials found the dead baby girl wrapped in a blanket with her placenta still attached in the Safe Haven Baby Box at the Grove Creek Medical Center in Blackfoot, authorities announced Friday.
“The Safe Haven Baby Box is intended to safely and anonymously allow custodial parents to surrender a newborn under 30 days old without legal repercussions, provided the child is unharmed,” the Blackfoot Police Department said in a social media post.
“Unfortunately, the placement of a harmed or deceased infant is not protected under the system of Idaho law.”
Hospital staff immediately responded to an alarm on Oct. 13 indicating a baby had been placed in the box — making the disturbing discovery that the newborn had been dead long before she was abandoned, according to Safe Haven Baby Boxes.
Idaho law only allows for the surrender of an infant who is unharmed.
“We are heartbroken,” Safe Haven Baby Box founder Monica Kelsey said last month.
“Let this be clear: this is an illegal, deadly abandonment.”
The accused teen was charged with failing to report a death to law enforcement officials and the coroner, police said.
Additional charges could be filed as the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the baby’s death is ongoing.
She is being held at Bingham County Jail.
