Farms in Pocatello, ID

Pocatello

Swore Farms grows sweet corn, red potatoes, and a wide mix of garden vegetables north of Pocatello using mainly organic fertilizer and no pesticides. Every fall the farm opens a 12-acre pumpkin patch and corn maze, and every 4th grader in the Pocatello school district visits for Ag Days. The farm also runs a roughly 20-week CSA and donates close to 30,000 pounds of produce a year to the local food bank.

POCATELLO · Farm Stand, Organic Farm

Chubbuck · Farmers Market

An indoor market inside Pine Ridge Mall in Chubbuck, open daily rather than just weekends — unusual for an Idaho farmers market. Established in 2008, it carries plants, eggs, raw honey, jam, textiles, bath and body products and handmade gifts, plus workshops from local vendors.

Blackfoot · Agritourism Farm

Isom's Apple Fruit Farm started in 1994 when Jeanne Isom planted 200 apple trees on the family's Blackfoot property. Three decades later the orchard sells Honeycrisp and other varieties out of a red barn farm store on site, with u-pick typically open Saturdays starting in late September once the crop is ready, usually by mid-September. The Isoms also bring apples to the Idaho Falls and Pocatello farmers markets. Call ahead before driving out, since picking days shift with the harvest.

Blackfoot · Agritourism Farm

Shoemakers grows more than 150 varieties of vegetables on their farm in Blackfoot, one of the larger crop lists of any u-pick operation in eastern Idaho. What's ready shifts fast through the growing season, and the farm asks that visitors call ahead to check availability before making the drive out.

Blackfoot · Agritourism Farm

The Johnson family has farmed this 18-acre plot north of Blackfoot for five generations, growing a wide list that runs from beets and cauliflower to peaches, raspberries, and two kinds of potatoes. Their sweet corn has a following beyond the farm stand — it's the corn behind the Mexican Crazy Corn booth at the Eastern Idaho State Fair. The on-site store and u-pick rows are open May through fall.

Downey · Agritourism Farm, Meat Farm

Brady's Beef raises grass-fed, grass-finished cattle in a small mountain valley in southeastern Idaho, with pastured pork added more recently. No hormones, no antibiotics — cattle finish entirely on grass rather than a feedlot ration. Orders ship by UPS across the Western US on a weekly schedule, with local pickup also available near Downey. A monthly beef subscription and beef jerky round out the lineup.

American Falls

Coldwater Farms works the Coldwater area west of American Falls, part of a small cluster of family farms, including the neighboring Call family's land, sharing that stretch of irrigated ground. Idaho business records classify it as a fruit and vegetable operation. It keeps a modest, local profile without a public storefront or website.

American Falls

Call Farms has worked the Coldwater area west of American Falls since 1980, run today by Kelley and Evan Call. It's a small, family-incorporated operation, about five people on staff, that has stayed close-held rather than expanding into a larger commercial farm. The property sits in the same stretch of irrigated cropland as several other multi-generation Coldwater-area farms.
