U.S. Senator Jim Risch has named Survival Garden Seeds, based in Rigby, as the Idaho Small Business of the Month for January 2026. The recognition will be entered into the Congressional Record of the U.S. Senate.
“Survival Garden Seeds is a great example of how Idaho small businesses not only make our communities strong but support our economy and supply chains,” said Risch. “Inspired by the Victory Garden movement, Jason and Arianne Spahr are helping people across the U.S. become more self-reliant through gardening.”
Senator Risch, who is a senior member and former chairman of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, selects an Idaho small business each month that demonstrates hard work, entrepreneurial spirit, and commitment to community.
Idaho is regularly ranked among the top states in the nation for doing business.
