Remember last year how much fun we had at the Competitive Potluck?
We're hosting another Competitive Potluck in a couple weeks at the Hub!
This year's theme: Wild and Alive

This could be food that’s wild or alive, like fermented food, probiotic and good for your gut, or something harvested from the wild. Or maybe it’s just wildly tasty!
Contestants will enter their best (wild) potluck dish to share and compete, sized to serve a crowd.
Mark your calendars and start planning a Wild and Alive dish to share with friends.

Our final summer day camp theme was mountain habitats...and when you're stuck in town with the mountains just a little too far to walk to, you make the big rock at the park your mountain! Charades is always a hit, and these participants pretended to be pika, mountain goats, eagles, and wolverines. Parents: As we shift from summer programming to school year-based programming, what type of educational offerings are you seeking for your kids outside of school, and which age ranges?

Do you need walk-in cooler space? Cold storage is often a valuable asset for those with food trucks or small farm and food businesses. Our prices are reasonable- fees are $10 per week for a large shelf or even less for a multiple week rental commitment.

It's been a low year for fruit in the area, so this week Cameron rented out the cooler to store cases of Montana peaches for jam. Reach out to kitchen@salmonvalley.org if you're interested in having some space in the walk-in cooler.

One of the more unique fruits you can grow is the haskap, also known as a honeyberry. Native to northern climates in Asia and Russia, haskaps are one of the most cold-hardy fruit crops in the world, making them well suited to places like Salmon. They bloom early in the spring, tolerate harsh winters, and produce flavorful blue berries that are rich in antioxidants with a unique taste. If you've never tasted a haskap before, we'd love to introduce you to them! We have frozen berries available for sampling. Stop by the SVS office, visit with Garret, and give them a try. Maybe you will want to plant some in your garden!

Sorry folks, our Shrubs, Syrups, and Jam Workshop that was this Friday has been postponed -- we didn't get enough registrations this time. We'll try again later in August or early September to offer another opportunity to learn these skills!

For those that were interested in going, would there be a better day of the week you'd prefer for an evening workshop? Or would a morning be a better time for you to sip on some fancy drinks while you learn?
Comment with your thoughts!
Thank you!

We can't wait to learn how to make tasty shrubs and oxymels like Moose's beautiful creation in this picture.
Don't know what a shrub is? Shrubs, also called Drinking Vinegars, have been used to preserve the fruits & flavours of the season. They are mildly lacto-fermented adding beneficial microbes to your food & beverages. Shrubs are not limited to use as a beverage. They can be the sweet and acidic base for salad dressings and sauces. Find out how tasty shrubs can be in the cold drinks we make at our workshop!

This summer we’ve been hosting a weekly summer day camp, with the theme of river to ridges. Each week we are focusing on a different ecosystem or habitat type, and exploring 3 animals of the week who live in that ecosystem. So far in July we’ve learned about river, riparian, sagebrush, and native plant ecology. Participants have visited SVS’s seed lab, searched for macroinvertebrates in the river, and acted out wildlife in games of charades. In August we’ll explore forest and montane & alpine ecosystems.

What's cooking at the community kitchen?!

We've had a couple renters in the kitchen, and have lots of capacity for more renters, so spread the word that the space is available! Here are some ideas: Use the kitchen trailer to have a pop-up restaurant with takeout food, use the walk-in cooler to store ingredients, or host a small class in a professional space!

Contact kitchen@salmonvalley.org to learn more or to become a renter.

Our main renter at the moment is Lara Antonello with La Osera, who is expanding her food business this year in a big way. She's selling empanadas & other Cuban-inspired food out of her food truck Wed-Sat 4-8 pm at The Hub. She's also catering for weddings and other special events. It's great to be working with her this summer providing prep & baking space in the commercial kitchen.

Last call for nominations for the David Krosting Sustainability Award! Each year, we present the Krosting Award at our annual Harvest Fest celebration to a recipient who displays a strong commitment to Lemhi County’s economy, community, and the environment. Submit your nomination by July 31: https://www.salmonvalley.org/awards OR send an email with your nomination and why they're worthy of the award to info@salmonvalley.org. This year's award recipient will be announced at Harvest Fest - September 18th at the Sacajawea Center!

In 2024, the Salmon Whitewater Park Association won the award for their years-long efforts to create the Guleke wave. Today the park is a destination to all in Salmon and the surrounding area. Whether you are surfing the wave, floating through the town stretch, or lounging on the river's edge, the town of Salmon has certainly added another jewel to our crown. For those visionary efforts, dedication and countless volunteer hours, these impassioned individuals created a lasting legacy benefitting our community, adding to our sustainability and economy for generations to come, all three elements pivotal to the spirit of this award.

The Native Plants Program has been busy all across Lemhi County scouting and collecting wild native seed. But we don't always have to travel far to find some of our most useful native plants. Do you know the bushy yellow plant in the photo? This versatile native survivor is curlycup gumweed (Grindelia squarrosa), and it's just starting to bloom all around the Valley.

Sometimes mistaken for noxious knapweeds or thistles, this native plant is best identified by the curly bracts covering the bottom of the super-sticky flower heads. We love this plant because it competes with undesirable roadside weeds like kochia and spotted knapweed, and pollinators love it too. The sticky resin has been used medicinally for thousands of years. Also, Idaho should be proud to call curlycup gumweed one of its star plants, because the NRCS Plant Material Center in Aberdeen will soon release the first-ever commercial variety of this species for habitat and pollinator conservation!

If you see curlycup along on your property, don't mow them down yet! Wail until they have dropped their seed in a few more weeks, so you can let it spread and let it help you battle weeds next year from the ground up! If you have a bunch of plants on your land and want to help SVS get seed, we can come collect it! Just drop Owen a line at owenbaughman@salmonvalley.org.

Look at those smiles! Today we were grateful to get to partner with @@_idaho_adventures for the third year in a row to help us get 28 local 4th and 5th graders out on the Salmon River. Thanks to our community's incredible generosity this spring, we quickly raised the funds to cover this year's river float: to hire Idaho Adventures guides and provide lunch for participants after the float. These kiddos swam laps in the river, looked for frogs, cool rocks, and minnows, and some even tried rowing the raft! Thank you to Everett & Jaz and their crew of patient & skilled guides for helping us make this happen, our SVS lunch crew and chaperones, the BLM and Forest Service for behind the scenes support each year, and the parents & family members who sign their kids up for this float. They say it takes a village to raise a child, and we feel lucky to get to work with great folks to help provide this special recreation opportunity for kids here on our home river.

Participants at our Asian Culinary Tasting and Food Demo were treated to an amazing spread of Asian dishes and a fun night at the community kitchen. We ate Goma-ae (Japanese dish), bok choy Cantonese style, chicken ginger stir fry, and pad Thai. This was a great way for our chef and teacher Emily to get her tasty food out there as one of our future kitchen users! Emily Seeboonruang will be using the kitchen this summer to make Thai food for sale. Once we have producers or businesses using the community kitchen regularly we'll post a list of their names, foods, and how customers can buy their food!

What cuisine would you like for the next culinary tasting & food demo event? Any cooks want to host?!

This was a great way for our chef and teacher Emily to get her tasty food out there as one of our future kitchen users! Emily Seeboonruang will be using the kitchen this summer to make Thai food for sale. Once we have producers or businesses using the community kitchen regularly we'll post a list of their names, foods, and how customers can buy their food!

What cuisine would you like for the next culinary tasting & food demo event? Any cooks want to host?!

Have you been dreaming about turning your favorite recipes into a business? A new state law has created exciting opportunities for products like salsa, pickles, fermented foods to be sold with less regulation. But how do we do that safely?

Come to a FREE workshop on Wednesday, July 15th @ 5pm.
Taught by Katie McFarland & Salmon Valley Stewardship in the Lemhi County Extension Classroom - at 200 Fulton St in Salmon.

Learn what products you can make and the food safety practices that help ensure your products are safe, consistent, and ready for customers.

Say hello to the new forestry technician with SVS crew, Lachlan. He was born and raised in Boise Idaho where his passion for outdoor recreation and protection has grown. He just completed his National EMT license and is hoping to assist the SVS organization in any way possible. He loves to do anything from skiing in winter to boating in the summer, and is very excited to be in Salmon and have the chance to adventure the rivers and expansive geology.
