Locally Grown Guide

Published annually, the free Wood River Valley Locally Grown Guide connects residents and visitors to high-quality seasonal food produced in our regional foodshed.

Impact Idaho Fund

The Impact Idaho Fund attracts and mobilizes mission-driven capital for innovative projects advancing community resilience in central and southern Idaho.

5B Resilient

5B Resilient enhances access to climate action resources, increases community and individual skills that promote self-reliance, and increases visibility of existing and new opportunities for resilience related actions.

Over 90% of the food we eat is imported and 95% of the agricultural products we produce are exported.

On average, the next vegetable you eat traveled over 1,500 miles from farm to your plate.

For every dollar spent on food, on average, the farmer only receives 15 cents.

The food choices we make daily have the power to shift our economic, environmental, and personal health.

TESTIMONIAL

"As a relatively new farm, we are so grateful for the work SVIR has already done with the Locally Grown Guide and Elevated Table farm-to-table dinner series. But what they're doing with the Impact Idaho Fund is the next level."

Briana Swette, Lookout Farm

TESTIMONIAL

“Community is about people and place. Among our biggest challenges locally and globally is to create stable and sustainable economies while practicing responsible stewardship of our most essential resources like water and energy. This is the nature of resiliency. What we learn and accomplish here can have the broadest applications.”

Larry Schoen, four-term blaine county commissioner

TESTIMONIAL

“We greatly appreciate Sun Valley Institute and Local Food Alliance's unwavering support of local food producers. The Wood River Farmers Market Association is excited to continue our partnership and we look forward to future local food accomplishments."
