Heath Barnes and Tish Ghigleri used to make a living shipping Palouse-grown chickpeas across the country. Now they’re diverting some of those shipments into hummus for Inland Northwest eaters with their new business, Bronzestone Corp. Barnes and Ghigleri, who worked for the Pacific Northwest Farmers Cooperative in Genesee, Idaho, say they were struck by how much of the local chickpea crop was shipped across the country to hummus makers. Barnes was a commodities merchandiser and Ghigleri a logistics coordinator for the cooperative until six months ago, when they left to focus on their new business/Lorie Hutson, SR. More here.

Question: How often do you eat hummus?
