Sustainable Food Systems
We are in the process of developing our Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems program, with the overall mission to support, enhance, and celebrate our local food system. Whether it is engaging in the conservation of diverse and connected native pollinator habitats or supporting the next generation of producers through on the ground training, education and resources, we are committed to a shared and equitable food future for our region.
If this gets your wings fluttering, we totally understand and would love your support! Stay tuned for more information.

Meanwhile, be sure to check out our recent Salmon-Challis Comprehensive Food Assessment, completed in the fall of 2022. This is a road map to where we are and the many exciting and possible directions we could go as we explore our food system.
In fall 2024 we created a resource document consolidating and updating food assistance resources available in Lemhi County, including food banks, food pantries, and free meal programs. This document was produced with help from Idaho Foodbank.

Coming up for 2025: A Season of Organics!
​
Salmon Valley Stewardship is rolling out a whole year of farmer/gardener education, a season of organics! Through the Transition to Organics Partnership Program (TOPP), SVS is bringing a whole host of exciting workshops in 2025. Our TOPP programs this fall were a huge success, and included an Organic Garlic Workshop, and a discussion on raising poultry. Topics for 2025 include seed starting with organic potting mixes, wild harvesting, organic seed school, and discussions on organic gardening, ranching, and farming. These will be hands-on learning experiences, workshops, discussions and field days to support local farmers, growers, and community members as they explore the benefits of organic farming. Stay tuned through our newsletter and via social media to hear about our workshops, farm tours, and more as we nurture healthier soils, sustainable practices, and a thriving local food system.
