September is Idaho Preferred® Month!

September has been proclaimed Idaho Preferred® Month and will include special events, television and radio advertising, retail promotions and more. For the fifth year, Governor Otter will proclaim September as Idaho Preferred® month to draw consumer attention to the fact that it is the height of harvest season. Eating and drinking locally produced products not only assures freshness and quality, but it also supports local farmers, ranchers, processors and communities. Celebrate Idaho Preferred® month by enjoying locally produced fruits, vegetables, wines, meats, breads, dairy products and specialty foods – and don’t forget to look for the Idaho Preferred® logo when buying fall landscaping plants and trees.

Locally Produced Idaho Foods

Eating food produced in Idaho means more than just eating fresh, local, quality products, it also means you are supporting local farmers, ranchers and food processors. Idaho Preferred® is a program of the Idaho State Department of Agriculture dedicated to identifying and promoting Idaho food and agriculture products. Fresh fruits, vegetables and meats; fine wines and specialty foods; nursery plants, trees and hay cubes – all of these products make up the wide variety of products represented by the Idaho Preferred® program. To find local products just look for the blue and gold label at your local grocery store, farmers market, restaurant, or retail nursery and enjoy the finest products around – those grown and processed right here in Idaho.
