🌾 Forget farm to fork…around here it’s farm to bowl, chili bowl that is!

♥️ Nothing brings a community together quite like a warm bowl of lovingly made chili, with lentils grown right here in the rich, fertile hills of the Palouse. It’s a tradition that keeps us year after year.

🤝 Stop by this year’s National Lentil Festival this Saturday and grab a bowl, meet a friend or make a new one! Our free lentil chili dinner truly is what community is all about 🫶🏻
