Starting this May, the folks at Rooted in Grace Marketplace will be gathering on the first Saturday of every month from May to October at the Covenant Bible Church parking lot at 56 Plato Drive in Bonners Ferry. Their mission is to glorify God and cultivate community through a joyful fellowship of local farmers, bakers, artists, and makers.
BONNERS FERRY, IDAHO – A new community gathering is coming to Bonners Ferry this spring. The Rooted in Grace Marketplace, a faith-based artisan and farmers market, will officially begin starting in May. The market will be held on the first Saturday of each month, May through October, in the front parking lot of the Covenant Reformed Bible Church.
Organized by local resident Samantha Banuet, the marketplace aims to provide a dedicated space for Christian vendors to share their talents, serve their neighbors, and uplift one another.
“After managing the local farmers market last season, I felt a strong calling to create a dedicated, faith-based space this year,” said Banuet. “Our mission is to glorify God in North Idaho by cultivating community through Christ’s love. My hope is to build a beautiful artisan marketplace where we can freely share our God-given talents and build joyful fellowship.”
