Shop local, think global at the West Bench Farmers Market, one of Boise’s newest and most distinctive markets. Now in its second year, this vibrant Thursday-evening market brings an international flair to the West Bench neighborhood — founded by local nonprofits Global Gardens and Global Lounge to celebrate both locally-sourced and globally-inspired agricultural products. Here you’ll find farmers, artists, artisans, and cooks from around the world, offering a truly unique opportunity to shop locally with a global perspective.
This season, the market moves to its new home at Spaulding Ranch — a dynamic community gathering space highlighting urban agriculture, complete with a historic home and barn, fruit trees, and community gardens. Browse fresh produce, handcrafted goods, and diverse ethnic foods, enjoy live music at the market, and soak up the welcoming, culturally rich atmosphere. It’s the perfect midweek reason to shop fresh and support a more resilient, interconnected local food community.
