Burkeys to reopen farmers market in Tarkio

The farmers market operated by Richard and Helen Burkey in Tarkio will open for the 2026 season starting in April. The market is located at the Burkey residence, right before the curve as you head south out of Tarkio at 20564 U.S. Hwy. 59 (use the north driveway). They will be open 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.

The Burkeys have purchased a refrigerated truck, which will keep the food that needs to stay cool fresh. As the fruit and vegetable seasons progress, the Burkeys will be selling watermelons, cantaloupes, cabbages, tomatoes, and peaches. They also have average to large sized, farm fresh eggs gathered daily. Besides eggs, fruits and vegetables, the Burkeys also plan to have fishing equipment and antiques for sale on the property.
