Popular Nampa Farm Lets You Pick Your Own Veggies This Weekend

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 weeks ago 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?

How about taking your love for local produce a little further this summer? Wissel Farms may have just the event for you. Grab the kids, the blind date--whomever--and make your way to Wissel Farms' 'U-Pick Veggie Weekend'! 

Perhaps most unique? All veggies are 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.

U-Pick veggie hours are: 

• Friday, September 26th: 9:00 a.m. until Noon
• Saturday, September 27th: 8 a.m. until Noon
• Sunday, September 28th: 8:00 a.m. until Noon

It's important to note that ifyou want to partake--this will not be at the family farm stand, but rather at the farm field: 3883 E Flamingo Avenue, in Nampa!

It's just $12 per 5 gallon bucket -- bring a few!

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!
