What did you back into?”A man yelled that question at Nick Harrigfeld on Tuesday afternoon, as he stood outside Hillcrest Floral in the shopping plaza at Overland and Orchard streets on the Boise Bench.It’s a question the longtime florist has been getting a lot over the past month — as customers and passersby wonder why four of his small fleet of business vans look like they’ve been through a demolition derby.The back of one van is smashed in, the window broken and the bumper falling off, while the driver’s side of another van is crushed. Those two vehicles are essentially totaled, Harrigfeld said. A third has been fixed and another awaits repair.In an unusual crash that left their owner with a mess, the four Hillcrest Floral vans were struck as they sat in the lot on a Sunday morning in early June. Harrigfeld has been frustrated trying to get compensation from the driver’s insurance company but he’s trying to look on the bright side.“The way I look at it, it’s going to cost me — but you know what? No one was killed. No one was hurt,” Harrigfeld said. “It could have been devastating.”The 27-year-old Boise driver who hit the vans, Eduardo Munoz Ramirez, was arrested at the... http://www.idahostatesman.com/news/local/community/boise/article163618173.html

Keeping things natural come Hell or High Water - Enumclaw Courier-Herald

The Enumclaw couple are using their cash award to purchase a pair of Great Pyrenees dogs that will watch over a pasture of laying hens. The pups are on order from an Idaho breeder and will provide a natural means of protecting chickens from aerial predators, coyotes and anything else seeking a free meal. “Small and mid-sized sustainable farms are essential to meeting consumer demand for humanely-raised food,” said Larissa McKenna, the director of FACT’s humane farming program. But the reality, she said, is that small operations face financial challenges due to high costs associated with economies of scale. “Our organization supports farms like Hell or High Water Farm by funding projects that improve animal welfare and also help farmers increase their profit margins,” she said. WHERE IT ALL BEGAN A decade ago, while apartment dwellers in Seattle’s Lower Queen Anne neighborhood, the Helfricks took a rather simple step. They began filling abandoned planters with heirloom tomatoes, pumpkins, strawberries and blueberry plants; it was all for personal use but launched a life of producing organic, locally-sourced vegetables and herbs. Within a few years, the couple were urban homesteaders, having advanced to a rented home in Seattle. From their Wallingford neighborhood, they had backyard chickens and had added grapes, hops, flowers and fruit trees to their growing operation. It was clear they were destined for something more than being hobby farmers, growing for their own table. A key transition came in 2015 when Kevin participated in the Organic Farming Education Program, offered by Tilth Alliance. Located in Auburn, it offers education for beginner farmers and serves as a business incubator. For three years, he grew vegetables and flowers and kept flocks of laying hens at Tilth’s Red Barn Ranch. “It was nice being around like-minded individuals,” Kevin says of his relationship with Tilth.A commercial customer stops by Hell Or High Water Farm, picking up an order of 25 dozen eggs.
