Did you know that Idaho is the number one producer of peppermint in the nation?

Idaho farmers produced 1.13 million pounds of peppermint oil out of the national total of 2.8 million pounds in 2023. 90% of the peppermint oil is used for gum, candy and toothpaste. The other 10% is used in medical and skin care products. One 55-gallon drum of peppermint oil can flavor about 5 million sticks of gum or 400,000 tubes of toothpaste. All of Idaho’s peppermint is grown on over 12,000 acres and exported around the world with the most being grown in Canyon County. Our abundance of water and warm summers are favorable to the growing of peppermint. In years past peppermint was grown in the Magic Valley area. This information was gathered from the Idaho Farm Bureau Quarterly Fall Issue.

Magical Christmas Moments…….

Christmas time was magical, especially in the Hagerman Valley. As children we waited with anticipation as the last day of school in December signaled our special school program. Mothers volunteered to make costumes for the musical numbers. One year I was a bell, another year an angel with wings attached to my back in a time when we sang, “Hark the Herald Angels’ Sing” and “Angels we have heard on High”. Our music teacher at the time made sure we correctly pronounced the words, “Gloria in Excelsis Deo”. He went around the classroom and had each one of us say, “In eggshell sus” Deo. I felt so grown up knowing the precise way to enunciate the words of the Christmas Carol. The big finale was having Santa Claus visit our school in the Gymnasium at the end of the program. He would enter the place shouting “Ho, Ho, HO,” boys and girls! He was a local man on the thinner side, Mr. Lemon, who poked pillows around inside the Santa Suit to project an authentic image with pasted on snowy white beard and mustache passing out brown paper bags filled with one orange, ribbon candy, peanuts and sometimes a popcorn ball. After collecting our goodies, we excitedly left the gym along with our families, as the lingering thrill of seeing Santa captured our young minds. All things enchanting awaited us as snow fell silently over our station wagon headed home down the long country lane to our 2-story white farmhouse.

Peering into the past growing up in Southern Idaho was honestly surreal as families held tightly to traditional gatherings to open gifts, share meals, laugh and stay close to all that was important; the celebration of the Birth of Christ and coming together. My Dad grew up in a farm family in Shoshone and my mom in a multi-generation farm family in Hagerman Valley. When they married in the 40’s they settled on the family ranch in Hagerman. Every Christmas was special and holds memories so cherished. Grandma Sandy, my father’s mother was a pioneer woman to the max. She was widowed in mid life and had to carry on the responsibilities of the farm in North Shoshone, raising the chickens, cows, sewing the clothes and cooking scrumptious meals especially famous for her homemade

Let me capture our Christmas Eve celebration at her small farmhouse stuffed to the brim with family. Twenty-three people from the ages of 5 to 80 cozily filled her small kitchen and living room areas. After we were all stuffed to the brim with Aunt Ellen’s home-grown goose along with Turkey and all the fix’ns complete with apple pie and an assortment of deserts, we gathered to open carefully selected gifts. Each year at Thanksgiving we would draw a name for our Christmas gift giving time. I love the memory of opening those gifts so simple and special. One year as a small child, my oldest cousin, Howard, had picked my name and wrapped a very specifically chosen gift for me. Opening the gift from Howard, my eyes were delighted to find a child size China Tea Set displayed in a wooden holder. There couldn’t have been a more perfectly selected gift, and I still have it some 60 years later. As the evening was coming to a close, as young children, my sister and I would put on our pajamas for the hour ride drive back to Hagerman. Inevitably after piling into our station wagon filled with blankets and pillows, we would fall asleep for the dream like snowy ride home. Arriving back at the farm, my dad would gently gather each of us sisters up and carry us into the house and my mom would tuck us into bed, barely awake.

Of course, with visions of Sugar Plum Fairies dancing in our heads.

Santa arrived in the wee hours of the night, as we were sleeping. I will never know how sneaky he was as we never, ever caught a glimpse of his presence, but he left behind just what we were hoping to find on the fireplace on Christmas morning. Our stockings were filled with simple things, like cracker jacks and candy. One year Lora and I each got a wonderful baby doll that was barely smaller than us. Another year we discovered sitting on the fireplace hearth 2 awesome stuffed animals. Always it wasn’t the gift, per se, but the wonder of it all.

Christmas Day was spent with my mom’s brother, Uncle Bill Jones and his family, as well as her parents, our Grandparents, Ethel and Johnny Jones in Hagerman. We shared gifts and another scrumptious meal, and everyone was happy. Such simple times of life and joy surrounded by our loved ones were priceless. To top off our Christmas Vacation, my mom would make sure we drove down our farm lane to the “tulle ponds” which were frozen over so we could ice skate! With cattails surrounding the perimeters and some air pockets frozen over, it

was not a completely smooth surface, but so exhilarating to conquer those frozen obstacles! Of course, the youngest and most active member of our family, Robert, could skate circles around us weaving in and out and seemed to have perfect balance! The day would end with our cold hands and rosy cheeks warmed by the farmhouse fireplace and hot chocolate with marshmallows sipped while we knew all was well.

These wintertime moments were only to be exceeded by a special Christmas service at the Old-Fashioned Methodist Church in town. The Church Building was located on Salmon Street in the same spot as the current church but has since been completely remodeled. The original was a white wooden structure with steps leading up to the entrance. Of course, topped with a steeple supporting a small cross, one entered a small foyer which housed a guest book to register attendance and someone handing out bulletins for the order of service. The current minister would be there to greet us and most often shake our hands as we left. The Isle down the center was flanked on either side with some 10 pews. Families would scoot into their favorite familiar row. Women dressed up in those days from head to toe, always wearing dresses, hats and gloves and carrying clutch purses with straps over their arms. The men wore the proper attire of dress shirts and ties and Sunday suits. Faye Tupper led the children’s youth choir as we gleefully sang out Christmas Carols. My sister, Lora and I, one year, wore matching red quilted skirts with a small print my mom had especially sewn for us. With our tucked in matching frilly white blouses and black patten leather shoes and white anklet socks we felt very delighted! Of course, our hair had been carefully coiffed in ringlets by our very talented fashionable Mom. Moments of comfort and peace seemed to permeate the room, as hymn books were held and young and old alike would sing the standard Christmas Carols.

This memory of safety and security stays etched in my mind and the determination to carry on traditions of family gatherings and celebrating the birth of our Savior! Merry Christmas to all as we anticipate a truly happy New Year.

P 13, 26 Philanthropy Project (YIPP), an empowering new initiative designed to foster a passion for community service and philanthropy among rural high school students across Idaho.

This hands-on leadership program prepares students in smaller communities to become future leaders in philanthropy by engaging them in the grantmaking process and supporting nonprofits that address critical local needs.

High schools in rural Idaho are invited to apply, with priority given to communities with populations under 30,000 to ensure support reaches areas with limited access to nonprofit resources. Six high school groups will be selected to participate, with each group given the opportunity to distribute $5,000 to local nonprofits. Through YIPP, students will learn about nonprofit operations, the role of philanthropy in their community, and how to evaluate grant applications—all while experiencing the power of giving back firsthand.

“This project aims to equip Idaho’s rural youth with skills in leadership, critical thinking, and collaboration,” said ICF Vice President for Impact and Nonprofit Center, Kevin Bailey. “By engaging in real-world philanthropy, these students will gain valuable experience in decision-making and foster a lifelong commitment to their communities.”
