Producer

Palouse Brand is a family-owned and vertically-integrated farm, spanning 5 generations and over 125 years that grows, processes, packages, and ships legumes and grains directly to customers. Their products offer a built in consumer experience through our transparency program. They grow our own products and provide customers with field location, photos, and harvest dates on their foods.

The Mader family began farming on the Palouse in the late 1800s on a piece of property that has come to be known as the Clear Creek field; this was later the inspiration for our Clear Creek brand product line which carries products grown by our neighbors across the Pacific Northwest. During these early years, the crop of choice for the area was mainly wheat, with legumes like small brown Pardina Lentils and Green Peas being introduced in the 1930s and 1940s in order to diversify the types of crops coming out of the Palouse.The Mader's began growing our beautiful chickpeas in 2004 and they continue to be a staple in our crop rotations.
