Intrinsic Organics to Break Ground on State of the Art Facility in WeiserJune 2, 2017

County Commissioner Tom Anderson asked SREDA to reach out to the company early on when the company was trying to find a location for their facility. “Commissioner Anderson had read that a nearby county had not been receptive to the company,” Kit Kamo, SREDA Executive Director recalled, “and he said that a value-added agricultural business like that would be a great fit for our county.”

According to CEO Sot Chimonas Intrinsic Organics will be hiring mid to highly skilled employees to work at the facility and anticipates 20 new hires in the first year. Local farmers have been contracted to grow SunSpuds™. Chimonas said, “Our thanks to Washington County for welcoming us in Weiser. We are very excited to be developing our project in this area of the great state of Idaho”.

SREDA Chairman Patrick Nauman is happy to welcome this unique business to Washington County. “The jobs that this company creates will provide great opportunities for our local residents as well as for those who have moved away and want to return to our region.” Nauman continued. “And the Agricultural impact and opportunity for our local farmers is another big plus.”

At Intrinsic Organics, the mission to GROW AND EXTRACT ORGANIC FOOD INGREDIENTS FROM NATURE’S COMPLEX RESOURCES aims to satisfy the growing desire for healthier foods in every industry.

Intrinsic Organic’s Vice President of Marketing Devin Limb said, “There is a need for organic food ingredients to be locally grown and naturally processed and we wanted to control the organic chain from soil preparation to the final process. The US is currently importing over 50 million pounds of inulin per year and Intrinsic is positioned to be the first to domestically grow and produce organic inulin.”
