USDA’s 2008 Cooperative Statistics Report

The leaders of America’s agriculture, fishery and utility co-ops, professionals who work with co-ops, ag educators, ag extension agents and rural congressional representatives will all be receiving the USDA’s 2008 Cooperative Statistics Report book. It is with great joy that I mention that not only is the bottom right photo of produce on the cover one that I took, but also that it consists of produce all grown in Idaho and sold through Idaho’s Bounty.

Thanks to all of the dedicated farmers and producers here in Idaho & to the staff of Idaho’s Bounty for all of the beautiful and healthy products you make available!

Here’s a link I posted last year when Rural Cooperatives magazine featured Idaho’s Bounty in their May issue.

Grown, crushed, loved & bottled all in Idaho!

There is no better time than during the harvest season to drive around the back roads of Southern Idaho. Everywhere you look there is someone moving, picking, pulling or stacking something as the golden light casts upon the hills behind them. Being on assignment at Cold Springs Winery in Hammett, Idaho granted me an even deeper appreciation for the art of wine making and the pure passion, patience and enjoyment that goes into making one’s wine. Yes, Idaho wine! You’d be surprised how much wine is being produced in Idaho these days. Here’s a site with a list: www.idahowines.org

Lots of smiles, On The Farm – Victor, Idaho

p3images — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 19:36:08 +0000

It was a fabulous evening and there were a lot of reasons for all of the smiles! Chef (and Mountain Guide) Eric Henderson and crew once again created a spectacular feast at Megan Warren’s Blue Flax Farm. On the Farm dinners celebrate Southeast Idaho’s collage of small family farms, it’s producers and the Greater Yellowstone community. This past weekend’s dinner featured food from Georgie Stanley’s, Snowdrift Farm. There was also grass fed beef from Dunn’s Ranch, Mountain Valley Mushrooms, vegetables & fruits from Cosmic Apple & Blue Flax Farm, whole milk from Paradise Springs, bagettes’s from Magic Bean Farm, eggs from Agate Acres and lots of Grand Teton Brewery’s Sweetgrass IPA, Dopplebock & root beer along with Cinder Wines being poured.

There is one more dinner left for the season on 9/25. Be sure to make reservations soon as I’m sure it will fill up quickly! It’s $65 a person or $110 for a couple.

Chef Wes Hamilton produces seasonal selections made with products from local vendors that are just as beautiful as the scenery that surrounds his kitchen. The menu at Couloir features dishes using free range and natural meats, sustainable fish, and seasonal fruits and vegetables from local farms.

Chef’s Table – Yes it’s right in the kitchen!

I love a rainy day…

When I awoke this morning I was overjoyed by the low clouds and moisture that had settled in overnight. My cup of coffee felt even warmer in my hands and tasted even richer as I held it tightly and quickly sifted and responded to the emails that were patiently waiting for me this morning. Several hours had passed and before I knew it is was time for me to head into town to photograph Idaho’s Bounty’s new farm Stand in Ketchum. The moisture in the air and the peaceful setting that Julie created made such a welcoming environment for me to settle into too. To share the enjoyment of my day I have posted a few photos for you to enjoy the day the way I did.

So happy, Teton Family Magazine!

It’s a great new magazine that promotes healthy and sustainable local living in the Tetons. The magazine is distributed in both Jackson Hole, Wyoming & Teton Valley, Idaho. A pdf of the entire magazine can also be viewed on the Teton Family Magazine website under Magazine. It is such a joy and honor to be photo editor of such a publication as this. I am so excited for our next issue!

Enjoy!

SNOW MAGAZINE – Rustic Respite by: Sabina Danna Plasse

Check out the spring 2009 issue of SNOW Magazine to read how local ingredients and local hospitality highlight the menu at Idaho’s secluded Galena Lodge. The lodge is such a special place. Erin Zell & Don Shepler have run the lodge for the past 3 years. I think locals and visitors all agree that the rustic charm, warm hospitality and amazing food at Galena Lodge is incomparable. It really is a unique place.
