Let’s talk supporting Idaho agriculture through local restaurants! 🥬 

This has been an amazing harvest season and idahopreferred Month. But we are just getting started! Autumn is actually an ideal time to dine at restaurants that support Idaho farmers, ranchers, and ag-artisans. This is time time that local chefs are incorporating all that locally grown food into their menus. Some of the very best of Idaho produce, meats and dairy will be showcased in Idaho restaurants this October. Not to mention Idaho beer and wine and cocktails with Idaho whisky, gin, herbal mixers and bitters. 

Supporting Idaho agriculture can be as easy as making a reservation at an authentic farm to fork restaurant. Many restaurants claim to be farm-to-fork, but it’s crucial to identify those with genuine relationships with Idaho producers. The Idaho Preferred definition of an Idaho farm to fork restaurant is, “an establishment that prioritizes locally sourced ingredients produced in Idaho by Idaho farmers, ranchers, and ag-artisans.”

I’ve listed some of my favorites in this reel. There are so many more! 

You can use the Farm + Food Finder on the Idaho Preferred website, for a list of genuine Idaho farm to fork restaurants.

And make sure to follow downtownboise for upcoming events surrounding supporting local restaurants. 

Now. Make those reservations and lets Live, and Eat, Local.
