8-20 IAN IFBF Market

 Farm Bureau’s Farmer’s Market helps Members Market Crops. Get a pen and paper cause I’m gonna give you some contact information at the end of this story. Idaho Farm Bureau Members now have a way of marketing homegrown produce and meats. Earlier this summer, the Idaho Farm Bureau started providing free advertising for produce through a new member benefit called the ‘IFBF Farmer’s Market.’

Idaho Farm Bureau Benefits manager Joel Benson explains that the concept is simple, and I’m quoting him because he is not available for a week since he’s attending out of office Farm Bureau meetings… “Our Idaho Farm Bureau website idahofb.org now has a site that lists all Farm Bureau members who sell produce locally.” Benson adds that from time to time the Farm Bureau magazines Quarterly and Producer will carry the list.

Quoting Benson further…“At this point we will list produce or meat products for human consumption. Things like hay, crafts and tractors won’t be listed here.” Benson says that all you have to do to place an ad is to email, mail, or fax him: member’s name, FB membership number, list of produce available, when it’s available, how to locate the producer, phone number, and any special instructions. jbenson@idahofb.org, or call 208-239-4289.
