CONNECTING FARM TO FORK
Contact FARE Idaho with your questions about how to find local products, produce or sellers who choose to support local. Our intention is to make it easier for both retailers and producers to source local products.
Please email us at hello@fareidaho.org.
WHY BUY LOCAL?
Locally and independently owned businesses create thriving neighborhoods that are more robust, connected, and economically vibrant. When consumers source from independent, locally owned businesses, a significant part of our money is kept in our local economic community — to make purchases from our neighborhood businesses, to support small to mid-scale farms, and knowing the source of your food — ultimately strengthening the interconnected food system of Idaho.
Together we can and will make a difference.

GIVING BACK

CONNECT
The cool thing when you buy local is that you get to know your farmer, producer, rancher, processor, bar, coffee roaster, and the list goes on! The food and drink on your table has a really cool backstory and getting to know your neighbor opens up a whole new world.
