Families have been growing peaches in the Española Valley since the late 1500s and while they are a staple that we have grown to rely on, their appearance is always an event to celebrate.

Dud pulled over and watched for a minute as Abe laughingly directed the family dancers Read More

The Palouse: A single farmhouse and barns stand surrounded by the unique and beautiful Palouse landscape. The brownish areas are the only areas not planted in this photo. The green crops are almost all wheat while the bright yellow fields are canola. Canola blooms have bright yellow blooms and the seeds in the blooms are used to make canola oil.
