Nampa’s Beloved Wissel Farms Lets You Pick Your Own Veggies

When it comes to produce in Idaho--there are few things that get more national recognition than potatoes. Idaho, known as the 'potato state' has a giant potato on a trailer that travels the country, a massive seal on every sack of potatoes that is shipped out to the rest of the country, and just last year, the University of Idaho football team dubbed themselves the 'Fightin' Taters'.

Here in Idaho, we understand that there's more to local produce and agriculture--despite our universal love for taters.

Love to 'Buy Idaho' and eat local produce?

Nampa's Wissel Farms is bringing back their 'U-Pick Veggie' event this September to encourage farm to table meals!

All of the veggies that you can pick at Nampa's Wissel Farms are totally spray free!

Established in 1911, Wissel Farms is one of Idaho's most cherished locally operated farms, anywhere in the state. Known for sweet corn, watermelon, a wildly popular 'veggie subscription' program, and just about everything in between, there are few destinations more authentic and 'Made in Idaho' that Wissel Farms' produce stand.

Running all through the weekend, beloved Wissel Farms will be opening its produce fields to the public--so that you can pick your own veggies & have a true farm to table dinner at home this week.

The First U-Pick Veggie event of the year will take place on Saturday, August 29th from 8:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.

It's important to note that the event will be taking place at the farm field, not the farm stand.

The farm field is located at: 3883 E Flamingo Avenue, Nampa!

The cost is just $15 per bucket and you can bring as many buckets as you'd like.

We spoke with Farmer Morgan of Wissel Farms, who exclaimed:

I love vegetables and I love sharing vegetables! Come pick some vegetables!

Sounds pretty sweet!
