Ketchum Farmers' Market

Ketchum Farmers' Market is part of the Wood River Farmers Market Association, the organization that manages the outdoor public markets in both Ketchum and Hailey. In Ketchum, the market runs on Wednesdays at Forest Service Park, a historic tree-lined park adjacent to the Limelight Hotel. That setting gives this market a clear midweek rhythm: four afternoon hours for shopping from local farm and food producers, plus a sizable craft and prepared-food presence from the association’s current vendor roster. The market manager is Holland Culver, working within an association led by a board that includes growers from Agrarian Harvest and Squash Blossom Farm.

Why it matters locally

The Wood River Farmers Market Association has managed the Ketchum and Hailey public markets since 2005, giving Ketchum’s Wednesday market a long-running local structure rather than a one-off seasonal event. The association says it is directed by its board, with input from the local community and city government, and that it supports local products through a family-friendly public market format.

Ketchum’s current site also reflects local collaboration. The City of Ketchum proposed Forest Service Park as a location for the 2023 season, and the market made the move to that park in Ketchum. The association’s weekly in-season newsletter adds another local layer with updates, recipes, specials, vendor biographies, and giveaways centered on the market season.

What you'll find there

The roster at Ketchum leans broad rather than narrow: multiple farms, ranches, fish, mushrooms, baked goods, condiments, prepared food, drinks, and a long list of makers appear under the Wood River Farmers Market umbrella.
