About Us
A Women Led Farming Collective
At Be Local Farms we believe in the beauty and power of community. Farmers spend a lot of time alone and are expected to have all the answers for their small business. Our founder, Amy Henkel, is a local farmer in Boise, Idaho and realized it was time to change this mentality.
At Be Local Farms, we decided to change farming from a solo venture into a team sport. Our farming collective brings together numerous Treasure Valley farmers into one community that shares stories, best practices and a space to enjoy each other’s company.
A strong community with great farming skills and strong connections create fresher, tastier produce and more fragrant flowers. We are stronger together!
If you are a farmer in the Treasure Valley and would like to join us, feel free to get in touch. We would love to hear from you!
“At Be Local Farms we wanted to change farming from a solo and often lonely venture, to a team sport, where everyone is supported and can share best practices, to provide the best produce and flowers to our community.”
