What is Buy Idaho?
Buy Idaho was formed in 1986 as a private
non-profit organization that promotes products and services produced in
Idaho.
The formal mission of Buy Idaho is:
- To help Buy Idaho member firms develop
an increased volume of business within and outside of Idaho;
- To expand
Idaho's people's knowledge
about the broad variety of services and of products grown and manufactured in Idaho;
- To encourage Idahoans to purchase Idaho
products and services at first choice, by demonstrating the economic benefits to all in
Idaho of retaining jobs and tax revenues developed by in-state business, within Idaho
Member organizations range from
academic institutions to yogurt shops. They range in size one-person enterprises to the
largest businesses in the state. Dues range from $165 to $1100 a year.
Buy Idaho is a non profit Idaho Corporation. Our only support is dues from members. Annual dues are
determined by annual sales volume, as shown by the chart below.

more of state grown, manufactured, processed or produced items.
