2024 Culinary Harvest Tour
August 19 @ 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM
The 2024 Culinary Harvest Tour, designed for chefs and food service professionals, is a great opportunity to meet local Idaho producers, sample a variety of local ingredients, visit a distribution warehouse, and experience firsthand the abundance of Idaho’s agricultural offerings. You’ll also enjoy a farm-to-fork harvest lunch and wine tasting, designed to inspire new procurement opportunities for your establishment.
According to the National Restaurant Association’s 2022 survey:
- 62% of consumers prefer restaurants with locally sourced food.
- 48% favor establishments offering local wine and beer.
- 58% of respondents value locally sourced food because it supports community farms and producers.
The 2024 Culinary Harvest Tour is tailored for chefs, culinary professionals, and food service teams eager to deepen their understanding of local Idaho agriculture, integrate more farm-raised products into their menus, and build meaningful connections with Idaho’s food producers. This tour offers a great sampling of the many Idaho farmers and ranchers who are already working with food service or who are ready to expand.
This complimentary learning experience is perfect for chefs, sous chefs, procurement staff, and restaurant managers who are passionate about integrating local products into their menus, or who want to learn more about sourcing local ingredients for their kitchens, and who want to strengthen their connection to Idaho’s rich agricultural community.
