		<description><![CDATA[Last Monday, Edible Idaho aired an NPR story on Idaho’s Bounty Co-op, a group bringing sustainably raised, local food to individual consumers. Today, producer Guy Hand reports on Idaho’s Bounty’s attempt to provide large institutions like hospitals, universities and restaurants with local food. By selling wholesale quantities, Idaho&#8217;s Bounty plans to take home-grown meats, produce and dairy to the next level.  Large institutions could not only introduce a new audience to the virtues of fresh, local food, but give big farm and ranch operations, who routinely ship their products out of state on the commodity market, a chance to sell closer to home at higher margins. (Since Idaho&#8217;s Bounty specializes in sustainably raised foods, some conventional food producers might also be encouraged to step away from the factory-farm model of production — with its relience on pesticides, hormones and antibiotics — to fill the growing wholesale demand for organic and sustainably raised foods.) Still, there are plenty of hurdles to jump.  Food shipped from far away is inevitably cheaper (thanks, in large part, to agricultural subsidizes) and often more convenient for large institutions, as well as consumers, to purchase.  Yet, by catering to companies that traditionally considered themselves too big or [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The local food movement is exploding in popularity.  At this time of year, though, fresh local produce can seem like a distant memory.  But even as the snow flies, there are people connecting hungry consumers to local food. In this installment of Edible Idaho, correspondent Guy Hand visits Idaho’s Bounty Co-op, a pioneer in the distribution of home-grown food. Download the script for this Idaho&#8217;s Bounty radio show.

		<description><![CDATA[An Idaho Orange Tree I’ve got greenhouses on the brain — thanks to some Idaho oranges. Imagine walking through a field of brittle, mid-winter stubble, a sky the color of cement, the wind biting at the back of your neck.  Ahead a nondescript greenhouse sits like so many greenhouses on the Snake River Plain this time of year: translucent, gray and most likely empty.  But as you open the door the Equator seems to leap north by latitudes.  Your smacked with warm, moist air thick with the sweet scent of oranges.  In front of you stands a full-sized orange tree — an Idaho orange tree — and it’s filled with fat, juicy fruit. I stumbled onto that orange tree near Hagerman, Idaho (and a forest’s worth of tangerine, lemon, lime, fig, grapefruit and other citrus trees in other greenhouses) while working on an Edible Idaho public radio story on Idaho’s Bounty.  Idaho’s Bounty is a local food distribution system and James Reed, one of the project’s founders, was showing me the potential for growing local food during a season when most fresh fruits and produce come from California, Florida and who the hell knows where. Reed explained to me that [...]]]></description>
