Magic Valley Food Innovation Center

The abundant farmland, dominant dairy industry, and collaborative local government support a vibrant and growing business community here in Southern Idaho. In the last few years, corporate giants have opened satellite locations in the region — yet our own local townships and entrepreneurs have yet to unlock strategies that allow our local businesses to thrive. RIVDA proudly supports the Magic Valley Food Innovation Center & Business Incubator which aims to change that! Learn more about the MVFIC here.
