Farming in Boise "...The valley is a very rich looking place. Wheat, oats, barley and all kinds of vegetables. There were orchards, and the trees were all full of fruit...Boise City was a lovely town." Emily Towell, 1881 Oregon Trail Pioneer Boise City was a major distribution site for supplies and fresh produce to overland emigrants and miners. Enterprising entrepreneurs found more profit in establishing local farms and ranches, providing ready food sources. By 1864 all easily irrigable farmland was in agricultural production. Within twenty years, emigrants noted the abundance of fruits and vegetables growing in the area.
