High Desert Seafood? A Look at Idaho Freshwater Clams and Mussels When Idaho chef, outdoorsman and BW writer Randy King asked if I wanted to tag along on a river-bound food adventure that included clams, crawdads, carp and cattails, I couldn’t wait. As the citizen of a state bereft of sea breezes and surf, I wasn’t about to pass on a chance to feed my occasional pangs of coastal envy with a high desert clambake–no matter how odd that sounded when I said it out loud. I remember seeing bits of broken clamshell scattered through the sagebr ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
Getting a Taste for LavenderThere’s not another crop that caresses the senses like lavender. That sounds a little sentimental, a little grandmother’s-potpourri corny, but “caress” is the right word for lavender. Even before arriving at theLakeside Lavender Festival in Nampa on a mid-July weekend, the scent of it drifted on the air like fresh laundry and violets. And once I’d caught a glimpse of those fields of lavender flowers, I couldn’t help but let out an involuntary, lavender-la ...

Giving Chefs an Appetite for MushroomsMany cultures, including our own, once considered hunting mushrooms aberrant behavior. They are, after all, a sometimes filthy and occasionally deadly fungus. William Delisle Hay, a 19th Century British mycologist, wrote that a mushroom hunter was often “regarded as a sort of idiot among the lower orders. No fad or hobby is esteemed so contemptible as that of the ‘fungus-hunter’ or ‘toadstool-eater.’” Undeterred by Victorian-era opinion is Chris Florence, ...

Migrants Harvest Cherries with a SongRICHLAND, Wash. — The cherries are finally ready for harvest in the Northwestern U.S. A cold spring means that this is the latest cherry season anyone can remember.

Luring Idahoans Back to FishingA mouth-watering aroma drifted out of an industrial warehouse behind the Jerome Fish and Game office. “Make sure you’ve got your cholesterol meds on board,” grinned Ed Papenberg, a senior wildlife technician for the Idaho Department of Fish and Game‘s Magic Valley Region, as he entered a doorway into what looked like a coven of Macbethian witches toiling in dim light over a half-dozen bubbling caldrons.

Fun with Foraging: Finding food in the mountains of IdahoLike a shaman’s cape, her knee-length, earth-toned jacket billowed behind Darcy Williamson as she moved silently through the woods near her McCall home. Even as she zigzagged her way through lodgepole pines, her eyes darting from tree limb to ground to middle distance, she never slowed her pace. She’d already lost her three companions and even I, unburdened with a collection basket and tools, found it hard to keep up. “I move through a forest pretty quickly,” William ...

Mountain West Voices: A Montana DairymanBelgrade, Montana CLAY SCOTT: You’re listening to Mountain West Voices. I’m Clay Scott. I’d been wanting to visit Amaltheia Dairy for the last few years. It’s near Belgrade, Montana, on the western edge of the Bridger Mountains, and it turned out to be pretty different from the dairy I once worked at many years ago. For one thing, the animals that produce milk here are not the stocky, placid Holsteins and Guernseys and Brown Swiss cows I was familiar with. In fact, they’ ...

For Asparagus, A Cold Spring Isn’t All Bad(Sounds of market) Hand: The Northwest endured a surprisingly cold, cloudy spring. It slowed the growth of many vegetable crops by weeks.

But according to Jerry Stelling, a vendor here at the Capital City Public Market here in Boise, the news for some cool weather crops, like asparagus, isn’t all bad.

Seeing the Connection Between Water & FoodThe mood was sunny on a spring afternoon as a small crowd collected for a student presentation on the lawn of the College of Idaho campus in Caldwell. It was warm, there was a barbecue afterward and graduation was only days away. Yet one of the photographs the eight student presenters had set on easels next to a row of colorful graphs and pie charts seemed out of place. It was an oversized black-and-white portrait of a long-bearded and thoroughly grumpy-looking old man. He stared down on t ...

Northwest Lawmakers Crack Open Egg ControversyPosted: Wednesday, May 25, 2011 SALEM, Ore. – The Northwest egg industry is changing the way it houses chickens. But animal rights activists in Oregon and Washington say the change isn’t going far enough. Lawmakers in both Olympia and Salem debated the welfare of egg-laying hens this year. Washington Governor Chris Gregoire has already signed one bill and Oregon lawmakers may vote on another as soon as today. Regardless, opponents in both states are launching ballot initiatives ...

Highland Cattle in the High DesertJake Willis, manager of Peaceful Cove Ranch, walked through the Foothills just north of Boise. The sky was blue, the pasture green, and on a sagebrush-dotted ridge above, a herd of cattle could be seen grazing. It was a quintessential Idaho ranch scene, except for those cattle. We climbed into Willis’ pickup for a closer look. As we approached, the animals increasingly appeared less like domestic bovine than miniature wooly mammoths. They’re short, with straight red hair that ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
Going Local is Not as Simple As It SoundsSay you’re sitting on the sunny patio of a local restaurant during the height of tomato season. So, of course, you order a tomato salad. But what arrives is not so much a plate of tomatoes as ghostly impostors, soulless industrial tomatoes with less flavor than a napkin. You look across the street–a literal tomato’s toss away–at a yard full of juicy Brandywines, Yellow Boys and Black Krims and you can’t help but wonder, maybe out loud, why it’s so damned ...

Preaching the Gospel of Spring GreensTim Sommer loves to preach the gospel of spring greens. And he’s got the voice to do it. When describing mizuna, for instance, he starts near a whisper as he kneels to pick a leaf. Then, as he rises again, his tone rises too. He extolls the virtues of that serrated leaf, its health benefits, its texture, its taste and by the time he offers you a bite, he’s approaching full-out hosannahs mode, arms spreading under the cathedral-like arch of his Middleton, Idaho greenhouse, testifying to ...

Farmers Markets Multiply and InnovateOn April 16, “guest ringer” J.V. Evans, executive vice president of D.L.

The Right to Farm vs. the Public’s Right to KnowThree years ago, Alma Hasse walked purposely, head down, toward a red brick building. The Jerome County Courthouse held a mountain of files on the county’s dairy CAFOs, or concentrated animal feeding operations, and Hasse wanted a look at them. She and her agricultural watchdog group, Idaho Concerned Area Residents for the Environment believed that Idaho’s factory farms weren’t being adequately monitored or regulated.

The Dandy Dandelion: Why the weed is wonderfulBack when we were all involuntary locavores–meaning most of human history–March was the meanest month. The larder was low, the stored fruit long gone and we were left nibbling away at beans and pickled meat. There were no corner stores with shipped-in oranges, bananas or baby greens, and therefore our vitamin C levels–a vitamin only available from fresh foods–were sinking dangerously low. Our teeth might have loosened in their sockets, the hair on our pale heads drif ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website

Commentary: Food Mile Stats Can Scramble Your EggsLike me, you probably often have a dozen eggs on your grocery list. And when you wake up bleary-eyed on a Saturday morning, you face the choice of how you will buy those eggs. In some parts of the country, there are three options for procuring eggs. You can buy them at a supermarket, at a local farmers market or directly from a local farm. If you want to support small farms then the second or third choice will be yours.

Fomenting FermentationFans of fermentation often sound like they’re camped on the far fringes of the foodie movement. They’re frequently portrayed as dumpster-diving neo-hippies with a hunger for the culinary dark side: lovers of bacteria, festering yeasts and the nearly rotted flesh the most fervent call “high meat.” Fermentation is, after all, a kind of controlled decomposition, a breaking down of organic matter that can end up tasting sublime, slimy or much worse.

A Push For Local Food CertificationFarmers markets are multiplying across the country faster than zucchinis in summer. That’s in large part because they promise consumers a personal connection to their food–a connection that chain supermarkets and faceless distribution systems can only feign to match.

New Twist on Local Food: Forest to TableENUMCLAW, Wash. – One of the catch phrases of the local food movement is “farm-to-table” — eating food grown nearby. Now small forest owners want to join the local food party. And no, they’re not talking about feeding you sawdust. Instead, local forest products include edible mushrooms, berries, and a salad green called miner’s lettuce.
