Growing region: Magic Valley Idaho, USA
Farm: M&M Heath Farm
Farmer: Mike Heath and Alvaro Peralta
Idaho’s Magic Valley in South Central Idaho is dotted with crops like beans, barley, wheat, potatoes, and corn that thrive in its arid climate, sandy soil, and moderate temperatures. Mike Heath is considered an organic pioneer by his peers (and even featured in Michael Pollan’s Botany of Desire!), relying on complex crop rotations to cultivate healthy and alive soil, beneficial insects for pest control, and compost as natural fertilizer. Today, bean production is largely stewarded by Alvaro, who has been Mike’s right hand for 20+ years.
