Washington Grown

We head east to explore how barley and brewing are woven into Washington's agricultural story. At Klein Farm near Edwall, we see how this golden grain fuels the state's craft beer scene, while the Lincoln Conservation District inspires the next generation of farmers. In Spokane, Tomás and Val lead a lively Craft Beer Pub Crawl, followed by perfect pairings at The Flying Goat and a sweet stop at Billy Burger. Finally, we revisit Prohibition's history, revealing how Washington's brewing spirit came back stronger than ever.

We find tides of flavor on our journey to the wild and beautiful Washington Coast to explore how cranberries, conservation, and coastal life intertwine. We visit Matt Reichenberger's farm and the Pacific Coast Cranberry Research Foundation to see tradition and science at work, while the Pacific Conservation District tackles erosion at Washaway Beach. Along the way, we enjoy a juicy smash burger at Ilk Lodge and a sweet scoop from Sweet Alchemy, then uncover the history of the coast and the resilience that defines it.

The Washington Grown team visits the Palouse, where vibrant green fields of peas and lentils define the spring landscape. At Clark Farm, we learn how growers lead the way in sustainable pulse production, and the Palouse Conservation District's FLOURISH program shows how soil and water conservation keep farms thriving. We explore Pullman's small-town charm, enjoy local fare from Beef and Co., and uncover how this remarkable region helped shape Washington's agricultural identity.

The Washington Grown team visits Northeast Washington and Spokane, where small farms and strong communities keep local agriculture thriving. At Casa Cano Farm, creativity and care bring fresh produce to the Inland Northwest, while the Ferry Conservation District connects people to the land through hands-on outdoor programs. We savor local flavors at Wild Sage Bistro and Madfire Kitchen & Catering, and uncover the rich history that continues to shape this resilient region.
