FARE Idaho is a nonprofit organization dedicated to championing the independent spirit of Idaho's food system, with a special focus on areas like the Wood River Valley and beyond. Our mission is to connect, align, and promote the shared interests of Idaho’s independent restaurants, family farms, food and beverage businesses. In places like the Wood River Valley, local food and agriculture are not just industries; they are integral to the community's heritage, history, and economic well-being.

At FARE Idaho, we strive to preserve and honor Idaho’s rich agricultural traditions by supporting and advocating for the businesses and individuals who are the backbone of our state’s food culture. Whether it’s a family-owned farm, a local restaurant, or an artisan food producer, FARE Idaho ensures that these independents have a voice in decisions that impact their livelihoods.

We connect local producers with Idaho markets, helping to shorten the supply chain and boost self-sufficiency. By doing so, we not only enhance the economic health of our food and beverage communities but also contribute to the resilience and sustainability of Idaho’s broader economy. Our work in the Wood River Valley is a testament to our commitment to empowering local businesses to thrive, ensuring that the unique flavors, traditions, and agricultural practices of the region continue to flourish.

It's through partnerships, advocacy, and community connections that we make a difference. Join today.
