Idaho Preferred® works with Idaho farmers, producers and food processors to get their products in the hands of Idaho consumers. We work with each company individually to determine the most effective marketing strategy and then assist participants in implementing the plan. We provide access to retailers and assist in creating effective retail promotions. For companies who wish to sell to the foodservice industry, we provide opportunities to participate in distributor trade show, chef events and make direct contact with restaurants. To increase awareness of the Idaho Preferred® program and logo, we host an advertising campaign that includes radio, TV, print and website promotions.

In short, Idaho Preferred® is a resource for retailers, restaurants, suppliers, and consumers alike. We assist our participants in meeting consumer’s demands for local products and help consumers find the local products they seek.

Member Success Stories

"I wanted to again thank Kim, Leah, and ISDA staff that work very hard on the Idaho Preferred Fundraiser. I truly believe without your efforts and coordination this would have never become the program it is today. I have received numerous comments from the community and I think this potentially could become the largest fundraiser for every school." --Kelly Henggeler, Henggeler Fruit Packing Co. in Fruitland
