Edible Jackson Hole

Get a taste of the Tetons during your visit to Jackson Hole. Here’s a guide to the best locally made food and fare.
Jackson Hole Local Foods - Lockhart Cattle Co.

Jackson Hole is rich in locally made food and drink. Our community may be small but it prides itself on providing area markets and restaurants with plenty of organically sourced meats, fresh vegetables and dairy products from the farms and ranches that dot the valley. The result is a foodie's delight!

There are also plenty of opportunities to munch on made-only-in-Jackson-Hole goodies, ranging from candied bacon and artisan chocolates to energy bars and craft sausages. And the bonus? You can take most of these back home with you—or order them online.

Meat of the Matter

Meat that comes from one of our local cattle ranches or butchers can be found on the menus of eateries throughout Teton Valley. Stop by one of the butchers or markets, too, such as Sweet Cheeks Meats, to purchase a local farm-to-table beef product. Mead Ranch, Lockhart Cattle Company, Jackson Hole Buffalo Meat Company, Jackson Hole Hereford Ranch, Purely By Chance and Robinson Family Farm and Ranch are some of the names to remember.

Local Foods - Huckleberries & Morel Mushrooms

Classic Seasonal Menu Items

Jackson Hole goes huckleberry happy in late summer every year when residents scurry to their secret spots to pick these tart cousins to the wild blueberry. Long after the harvesting ends huckleberries can be found on menus and in food items throughout the year. Dubbed “Purple Gold” by old-timers, according to Jackson Hole food writer Annie Fenn, they make great jam, pies, tarts and especially milkshakes.  

Morel Mushrooms also have their own “hunting season” here. For just a few fleeting weeks in May, Jacksonites forage for these tasty morsels in the forests and near water. Many of the fungi then find their way onto menus in restaurants such as the Snake River Grill and Il Villaggio Osteria.
