Peaceful Belly is the best of both worlds – a 70 acre ecological sustainable urban farm and a CSA. Located in the Dry Creek valley nestled between the Boise foothills, we specialize in certified organic vegetables that supply to a 160-family CSA program, Capital City Farmers Market, the Boise Co-op, Idahos Bounty and local restaurants.
We believe in genetic diversity both domestic and wild and we grow over 90 types of vegetables, fruit, herbs, flowers, berries and pastured poultry. Peaceful Belly is a small family farm. We believe it takes a community to produce veggies like Peaceful Belly can and that food should be grown close to the people that consume it. So we work very hard to try to connect people in the city of Boise, to the people that grow the food they enjoy. We strive to help create a better community not only through our produce but trough the many out reach and educational programs we have created and partner in. We work hard to ensure that our food can be enjoyed by all social classes.
In the past eight years of farming we have learned the importance of good stewardship for our soil, environment , water and our health. We are growing our farm and expanding our acreage, not to produce more food, but to become better producers or farmers. This larger acreage will give us the room to incorporate larger crop rotation, more animal husbandry, attention to natural and beneficial habitat and focus on long term soil health. We have been practicing all of these elements on our smaller farm but this gives us the room we need to allow the areas of the farm to rest. We have learned that all things living need rest, even soil.
Our food is grown organically and is certified by the State of Idaho. We also know the importance of raising food with love and care. Our whole entire farm staff functions as a family and we all take pride in bringing the sustainable healthy food to your table.
We would love for you to be a part of our family and boast about your Peaceful Belly.
