Why it matters
Doing business the right way shouldn't put your operation at a disadvantage.
Idaho farmers, ranchers and growers work hard to build successful operations while meeting their obligations under the law. They deserve a level playing field where responsible practices are recognized and fair competition is encouraged.
Idaho Grown Right is building an industry trust mark that gives agricultural businesses a way to demonstrate their commitment to lawful hiring, integrity and fair competition.
A Voice in the Standard
Idaho agriculture isn't one-size-fits-all. Farmers, ranchers, dairies, orchards and other agricultural businesses face different operating realities.
Your experience and input will help refine the requirements, strengthen the program and ensure the Idaho Grown Right mark reflects the realities of Idaho agriculture.
A Mark Worth Earning
We're building a recognizable trust mark for Idaho agricultural businesses that meet clear standards for lawful hiring and business integrity—giving buyers, customers and industry partners a better way to recognize those doing things right.
Principles
Three principles to grow on.
Lawful Hiring
Employ workers through lawful pathways, including applicable legal guest-worker programs. The standard is about following the law, not where workers come from.
Business Integrity
Keep your commitments to workers, buyers and business partners. Build a reputation for reliability, honesty and standing behind what your operation produces.
Fair Competition
Compete on the quality of what you grow or raise, the reliability of your operation and the strength of your business—not by taking shortcuts that violate the law.
What we're building
A clear standard. A mark that means something.
Idaho Grown Right is being developed around a firm foundation: lawful hiring, business integrity and fair competition.
Our goal is to establish a voluntary trust mark that distinguishes Idaho agricultural businesses meeting those standards.
We're inviting farmers, ranchers and agricultural operators to participate early, help refine how the program works and take part in shaping a standard that can strengthen Idaho agriculture for years to come.
Establish the Foundation
Our three guiding principles define what Idaho Grown Right stands for. We're building practical requirements around those commitments, with room for the different ways Idaho agricultural businesses operate.
Bring Agriculture Into the Process
Farmers, ranchers, growers and other agricultural operators will help refine the standard, identify practical challenges and shape how businesses qualify.
Launch the Founding Pilot
Our next step is an initial pilot with interested Idaho agricultural businesses. The pilot will help us put the standard into practice, refine the process and build toward a trust mark that businesses and customers can recognize with confidence.
Built for Idaho agriculture.
From family farms and ranches to larger agricultural operations, Idaho Grown Right is intended for businesses committed to doing things the right way.

Requesting early access is not a commitment to join, and pilot participation is not guaranteed.
Requesting early access won't result in your business being publicly listed or identified as an approved participant.
Our goal is for qualifying businesses to be able to display the Idaho Grown Right trust mark once the program is established.
Public recognition will be subject to the program's requirements and the business's permission.
