STRENGTHENING THE LOCAL FOOD SYSTEM IN CENTRAL IDAHO

STRENGTHENING THE LOCAL FOOD SYSTEM IN CENTRAL IDAHO

In meeting with grocers, school superintendents and cooks, farmers, educators, ranchers, meat processors, bakers, chefs, extension agents, community garden growers, non-profit leaders, senior center volunteers, community leaders, plant start growers, food entrepreneurs, cheese makers, backyard gardeners, and farmers market regulars, Becca and I were able to get to know the communities of Mackay, Leadore, North Fork, Salmon, Elk Bend, and Challis, to really know them. The shared fears and hopes that reverberate throughout so many rural western communities were made specific and singular in the hands and hearts, dreams and desires of the people who call Central Idaho home.

Community Building

Whether we are tackling questions like “How to strengthen the local food system” in Custer and Lemhi County Idaho or “How to create more equitable land access for producers while supporting added enterprises on the landscape” in North Central Montana or “How to create more housing opportunities to support the rural community, which the surrounding working lands depend on” in Petroleum County Montana, we are ultimately bringing together those that care for a place and asking them for the solution.
