20Oct2013_1_Boise-Farmers-Market-Fall-Fundraiser_Bag-LogoYes, even The New Boise Farmers Market must have funds to operate. And since it is not privately funded, the funds must come from the public sector. That’s you and me!! So Robin and I did attend. It was held at the Purple Sage Farms outside of Middleton, ID. A beautiful Fall day as you can tell from some of these photos.
Robin and I try very hard to eat local products and we are totally committed to the “Buy Idaho” and “Support You Local Farmers” programs. We are at the New Boise Farmers Market every Saturday and we will follow them indoors on November 2, 2013 to their winter home at the Fulton Street (Boise) location. So we were very pleased when we got the opportunity to attend this gala event at the Purple Sage Farms. Enjoy these photos and please, please support your local farmers. From the New Boise Farmers Market web page,

Vision: The Boise Farmers Market is a community marketplace where local food and agricultural products are available year round and where the community can learn about and become engaged in food system issues. The Market is a catalyst and incubator for local food-related activities in the region, and helps to build personal and community self-reliance.

Mission: The Boise Farmers Market supports a regenerative, healthy food and agricultural system by operating a vibrant marketplace featuring locally grown and crafted products.

Tim Sommer and his son Mike, owners of the Purple Sage Farms, talk to the crowds that were there.ike3 loves to work on and with the  land. They use only their own compost and their water supply is from the Payette River.

Their products can be found at the New Boise Farmers Market, of course, and in Whole Foods here in Boise. It is some very good beef!

Here are some photos of some of the greenhouses that Purple Sage Farms use for winter production of their vegetables and herbs. Temperatures during the summer may reach well above 100 degrees, so they whitewash the outsides to reduce the intensity of the sun.

Open-faced Fish Tacos

17 Thursday May 2012

Posted by Bob and Robin in HDR, Photos, Photos By: Bob Young, Things To Do, What's For Dinner?

≈ Leave a comment


Robin came up with this really fantastic Open-faced Fish Tacos. Using rolled out and browned in Crisco, she used Grand Biscuits. Then a sour cream, lime and cumin mixture is spread on the browned rolls. (Left-Click the photo and go full screen to see the layers.) We used talapia and placed that on the rolls. Topped with shredded cabbage, cilantro, avocado and a dollop of the sour cream mixture. Add to that a Pico de Gallo I made this afternoon that has diced English cucumber added to the tomato and green onions, and you have an awesome sandwich. Serve with an iced mixture of unsweetened Pomegranate juice, fresh made ginger ale, lime juice and a splash of Cholula Hot Sauce and you’ve got a super treat! We’ll have this again …. guaranteed! Enjoy.

Steamed Spinach and Shrimp

15 Tuesday May 2012

Posted by Bob and Robin in Captain's Shack, HDR, Main Dish, Photos, Photos By: Bob Young, Shrimp, Vegetables, What's For Dinner?

≈ Leave a comment


Here was an awesome dinner. Steamed shrimp over 2 bunches of fresh tarragon infused water. Sauteed ramps, chives and garlic in 1T bacon drippings. Add 1c of the tarragon water used to steam the shrimp. Add diced asparagus and steam for 2 minutes. Add the spinach and cover to wilt. This is a fantastic way to combine shrimp and spinach. If you try this, let us know how you liked it. I can also imagine it with some fiddlehead ferns. Cheers!
