Treasure Valley Red — Fire-Roasted Salsa
They named this valley for treasure and then filled it with farms, which turned out to be the same thing.
This is the valley’s jar. Tomatoes, jalapeños, onion, and garlic straight onto the fire until they’re blistered and black — then a knife, not a food processor, which is why it’s chunky and pourable instead of smooth. Smoked salt, lime, cilantro, a toasted morita underneath for the backbone.
Mild to medium. The one that ends up on everything.
It’s named for the Treasure Valley because it never leaves it — refrigerated, no canning, no preservatives, made the week you pick it up.
Local pickup: Nampa, Caldwell, Meridian, Boise.

Seven Devils Green — Charred Tomatillo Salsa Verde
The Seven Devils stand over Hells Canyon, and the peaks have names: He-Devil, She-Devil, the Tower of Babel. Nobody named them that as a joke. Fair warning, in other words. Tomatillos, serranos, onion, and ten cloves of garlic go over the fire until the tomatillos blister and start to collapse. They look ruined. They're perfect. Blended rough, seeds in. It comes out sharp and green and innocent-looking — right up until the serranos show up with all that garlic behind them. The hot one. Named honestly. Refrigerated, never canned, made the week you pick it up. Local pickup in the Treasure Valley.

Arco Ash — Chipotle Smoked Salt
Arco sits at the mouth of Craters of the Moon, a lava field so black and broken the astronauts trained on it. It's also the first town on earth ever lit by atomic power — 1955, for about an hour. Strange little place. Good name for a salt. Black lava, black tin: the smoked salt base with chipotle and smoked paprika worked through it. It bites, it doesn't burn. This is the one that lives by the stove and goes on eggs, potatoes, corn, and anything that came off a grill. Local pickup in the Treasure Valley.

Camas Honey Oats — Small Batch Honey Granola
Camas was food before it was a place name — the blue-flowered bulb that fed people on that prairie for centuries before anyone planted an oat there. The prairie kept the name when it went to grain. Honey and oats felt right for it. Same base as the maple, built on honey instead — and honey browns faster, so this one comes out a shade darker and a little deeper. Cinnamon in the dry mix. Pecans, pepitas, chia. Same method: pressed flat, baked low, cooled an hour untouched, broken by hand. Local pickup in the Treasure Valley.
