Western Farms of Idaho is increasing production in the Inland Northwest, now delivering 30,000 eggs per week to two dozen Spokane-Coeur d'Alene-area restaurants and 14 retail stores. 

As Browning Beef LLC contends with higher cattle prices nationally, the Spangle-based beef supplier is working to keep prices low for consumers.

Agriculture has long depended on people willing to learn by doing. But for many would-be producers, especially those who have served their country and are now looking for a second career, getting started in farming can be difficult. In Spokane, Vets on the Farm is one example of how local resources, relationships, and real-world training can help make that path more accessible.
