DONATE

Your tax-deductible contributions can help support SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE across Idaho’s urban and rural communities. Our goal is to make an impact throughout our entire food shed.

WHERE DOES YOUR TAX DEDUCTIBLE CONTRIBUTION GO?

  • Annual Symposium: Each year we organize the Northwest’s premier sustainable agriculture symposium, which is now attracting local and national change agents. Our goal is to bring people together and promote regenerative-agriculture.
  • Educational Events: Each year we create new sustainable and regenerative educational opportunities for farmers. Our goal is to make these opportunities available in communities across the region so true change can be catalyzed locally. One event per year is not enough.  We want to reach every community.
  • Farmer Sponsorship: We dedicate a portion of our annual contributions to sponsor agricultural opportunities organized by other non-profits and Ag organizations! We realize the ICSA can’t do it all, but we can still financially support events and investments for farmers across the region.
  • Future Visioning: New ideas must be explored, and experimentation is one of the best ways to test the waters. Exploring award and recognition programs, certifications, infrastructure investments, reducing food waste, soils testing…the ideas are endless. Each year the ICSA tries to find additional ways to catalyze change in our farming communities and promote regenerative methods.




Stocks, bonds or any other securities can be transferred as gifts. Giving the gift of stock also has benefits for the giver. If the stock has appreciated in value, the holder can avoid paying the capital gains tax by giving it as a gift. If you’re interested in giving in this way, please contact Leslie Boson at her Edward Jones office: 208-342-0141.

    Triangle C Beef

    Farm Description

    Triangle C Beef is a smart pasture operation producing 100% pasture-raised and Grass-Finished Beef without using antibiotics, hormones, pesticides, GMOs or ethanol by-products. I cater to consumers who recognize the exceptional health value of clean, all-grass-fed beef. And why grass? Omega 3's come from the green leafy parts of plants! And grass helps me sequester carbon.

    I have years of knowledge and experience in my breeding and selection process to insure tender beef on your plate. This breeding program is centered around Red Devon, an exceptionally tender breed.

    Here at Triangle C Beef, I raise beef with a focus on the superior health benefits for the earth, for the animals and for humans that come from grass that is grown and harvested in an animal and earth friendly manner. My practices ensure healthier, more flavorful, environmentally regenerative beef for you.

    "Country Organic" rings true to the practices and ideas on my farm and I can assure you my beef is as natural and clean as it can be in this "modern world". Triangle C "NO GRAIN" beef is produced with uncompromising integrity, strict standards, and a relentless pursuit of tender, flavorful, healthy beef. Thank you for supporting a local, non-GMO ranch!
