Idaho’s farm stands provide a wide range of seasonal produce including apples, berries, sweet corn, and heirloom tomatoes. Each farm stand has its own unique charm and selection, showcasing the best of what Idaho’s farmers have to offer.
Did you know that Idaho has over 80 farm, ranch, and dairy stands throughout the state? Farm stands offer an easy and convenient way to support local agriculture while enjoying top-quality products straight from Idaho’s fertile lands. From fresh fruits and vegetables to homemade jams, artisan cheeses, and baked goods, these stands are brimming with the rich flavors and traditions of our state. Many farm stands operate seasonally or throughout the year, providing a reliable source for fresh, local food that also helps reduce the carbon footprint of long-distance transportation. Shopping locally isn’t just about the food—it’s about forging connections with the farmers who cultivate it, fostering a deeper sense of community.
Experience the unparalleled freshness and flavor of produce harvested at its peak by shopping at your local farm stands. Whether it’s a charming self-help stand on the roadside or a bustling retail operation brimming with packaged and value-added goods, these local treasures offer a direct link to the Idaho farmers who grow your food. When you buy from a farm stand, you’re not just purchasing groceries—you’re investing in the health and vitality of your community.
Did you know that 96% of Idaho’s farms and ranches are family-owned? Our state boasts an impressive diversity with 185 different commodities produced across 25,000 farms and ranches. Agriculture is a powerhouse in Idaho, contributing 18% of the state’s total economic output and standing as the single largest contributor to our economy. By choosing to shop at local farm stands, you’re not only enjoying fresh, delicious produce but also supporting the backbone of Idaho’s robust agricultural community.
At Idaho Preferred, our mission is to connect Idaho farmers with consumers to help them expand their marketplaces and thrive. To achieve this, we proudly collaborate with supporting organizations that share our vision and commitment to Idaho agriculture. Through partnerships with groups like the Panhandle Farm Corridor and Destination Caldwell, we amplify our efforts to highlight the diversity and quality of Idaho’s local food offerings and the farmers, ranchers, and food crafters who produce it.

Welcome to Prairie Home Farm, home of Lil' Punkin Pie Co. While visitors arrive to pick out a pumpkin or two, it’s the full experience– the cluck of chickens, hauling a red wagon brimming with garden treasures, or feeding the animals–that lingers long after the visit ends.
