Wood River Farmers Markets

We are so fortunate in this valley to have access to healthy, fresh food in our restuarants, grocery stores and farmers markets. We love buying local and supporting the growers in our area. We encourage you to support local wherever you are too. Here in our valley the Wood River Farmers Market is held twice per week in two different locations: Ketchum and Hailey.

The Ketchum Farmers Market is on Tuesday afternoons (as it always has been) and continues to operate out of the River Run parking lot. This market will go through September 28th, from 2:00 pm to 5:15 pm for walk-up sales. In addition, online pre-order pick-ups are from 5:30 pm to 6:00 pm those same days.

New in 2021 the Hailey Farmers Market is taking place on Saturdays! This is so exciting for the community, including us! Now through September 21st from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm at Roberta McKercher Park you can enjoy producers selling fruits, vegetables and flowers. Seasonally available honey, cheese, eggs, meats as well as prepared food offferings including salads, soups, crackers, cookies and many other products. Lots of baked goods, artisian breads, pies and other desserts, jams, jellies, sauces and dressings. Health products and body lotions. Some crafts including jewlery.

See you there!

Take your Rasberrys Deli to the Park

While Sun Valley Resort is America’s first destination ski resort, many may think skiing when they think Sun Valley. The summers are however glorious with endless days of sunshine, beautiful wildflowers and crystal clear mountain fed rivers, streams and lakes.

In the spring of 2020, Rasberrys remodeled their existing space to include a deli case. Dining-in (or outside on the patio) and take-aways from the seasonal menu still remain, but now there are more ways to enjoy the fresh, local and organic goodness created in the kitchen. Soups, salads, breads, pastries and drinks are ready for you to enjoy at any local park or riverside.

Carrot Cake Oatmeal Pancakes

1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats

1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

1 egg, beaten

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp ginger

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla

Butter or oil for the griddle

1/2 cup grated carrots ***make it Rasberrys-like by subbing sweet potato, parsnip or strained apple***

Maple syrup, butter, extra carrots and chopped nuts for topping (optional)

Grind oats in a blender for a few seconds, until they have a flour-like texture. Combine the oats, milk and egg; let sit for 10 minutes. Stir in baking powder, spices and vanilla.

Heat a griddle or skillet over medium. Spray with oil or melt a pat of butter. For each pancake, drop and spread a scant 1/4 cup of batter into a 4-inch round. Sprinkle evenly with about 1 1/2 Tbsp grated carrots.

Cook pancakes, three at a time, until small bubbles form and pop on the top. Flip, and cook 1 to 2 minutes more until golden on the other side. Serve warm with desired toppings. Makes 2 servings.
