Discover a variety of Idaho small businesses, like vintage boutiques, outdoor retailers, antique shops and a vibrant Moscow, Idaho, farmers market.
A Moscow tradition since 1976, the Moscow Farmers Market celebrates local farmers, artisans and musicians every Saturday morning from May through October.

Moscow is home to the NRS Flagship Store, which specializes in all-water adventure gear. The NRS name has stood for rugged, reliable equipment built to the standards of outdoor enthusiasts.
Channel your inner Janis Joplin and pop into Tie Dye Everything, a shop specializing in—you guessed it!—tie dye. With more than 150 individually tie-dyed items, you’re sure to add some color to your wardrobe. Owner and tie-dye maven Arlene Falcon was even featured in British Vogue’s Fall 2018 issue for her kaleidoscopic work.
Surrounded by the lush rolling hills of the Palouse, Moscow has no shortage of local parks to sit back and enjoy a picnic. To gather your spread, hit up the Moscow Food Co-op, a cooperatively owned grocery store that sells regional cheeses, local meats, from-scratch baked goods and locally grown produce. If you want something pre-made, visit the deli counter for an assortment of soups, salads, wraps and sandwiches.
