Canewater Farm is a Certified Organic family farm located in Teton Valley, Idaho. We are nestled in the foothills of the Snake River Range between Pole Canyon and Smith Canyon. The 13 acre farm is comprised of mixed vegetables, flowers, open space, and farm infrastructure. Canewater grows a diverse mix of organic vegetables and cut flowers for three weekly farmers markets. They deliver weekly to over 25 restaurants and retail stores throughout the Tetons.
Rafe Rivers runs the farm along with the farm manager. He feels extremely lucky to call this beautiful nook in the valley home. Not a day passes without gratitude for the ability to farm in this wonderful place. Rafe loves building relationships with local restaurants and customers at farmers markets. He is best known for rocking late night music in the wash stand, dawn patrol mowing sessions, and tractor work with his kids on his lap. He doesn't love winter snow removal detail but feels it's worth it to have all the snow to ski with his family and friends. He loves growing and eating Italian chicories. Most of all, he relishes every minute with the love of his life and two incredible kiddos on the farm.
