Located up in the Priest River, Idaho area you can find Primal Acres Meats where they are redefining what it means to eat local. Founded in 2024 by Brittany and Darrin; a chef and a commercial fisherman turned ranchers. The business was born from a desire to make a hunter/gatherer lifestyle more accessible to their community. Starting with pasture-raised pork and non-GMO, grass-fed beef at local farmers markets, they’ve grown into a trusted source for ethically raised meats and wild-caught seafood, all while supporting local farms and transparent food systems.

What sets Primal Acres apart is their commitment to ethical sourcing and community connection. Not only do they raise their own animals, but they also partner with local producers to offer a wide range of sustainable proteins. From heritage pork and small-batch poultry to raw dairy and exotic meats, each product reflects their mission: to provide clean, conscious food that people can trust. Through donations to local schools and involvement in 4-H and FFA, Primal Acres is investing in the future of food, one mindful meal at a time.

Silent Streets, Shared Sorrow
The Day Coeur d’Alene Stood Still

As the community continues to grieve the loss of Coeur d’Alene Police Officer Garrett Kelderman, images from Tuesday's solemn procession offer a powerful visual testament to the region's collective mourning and deep respect. See More Photos…

Photographer and journalist Bill Buley of the Coeur d’Alene Press spent the day capturing scenes from the emotional tribute, photographing the long procession that escorted Officer Kelderman from Kootenai Health to English Funeral Chapel. Along the route, residents stood in silence—some saluting, others with hands over their hearts—while flags waved and first responders stood in uniformed solidarity.

Kohberger Avoids Death Penalty with Guilty Plea in Quadruple Homicide

Bryan Kohberger, the man charged in connection with the high-profile killings of four University of Idaho students in 2022, has entered a guilty plea, signaling the end of a lengthy and emotionally charged legal case that captured national attention.

The plea came during a hearing in Latah County, where Kohberger admitted to four counts of first-degree murder and one count of burglary. By pleading guilty, he avoided a potential death penalty trial, an outcome that had been under discussion for months. Learn More…

Farmer Confidence Slips Again in June Amid Economic Uncertainty

Farmer sentiment across the U.S. dipped slightly in June, according to the latest Ag Economy Barometer from Purdue University and the CME Group. After a slight rebound in May, confidence among producers softened again, reflecting ongoing concerns about financial pressures and market uncertainty.

While not a dramatic shift, it signals that underlying unease remains. Much of this hesitancy stems from deteriorating farm income expectations, with many producers reporting tighter margins and more cautious investment plans. Read More…

'Ghost Wolves' Spark Controversy Over Idaho's Population Estimates

As Idaho intensifies efforts to reduce its wolf population, conservation groups are raising concerns about the accuracy of the state’s wolf counts. These numbers are critical, as they guide policies that have led to aggressive management strategies, including expanded hunting and trapping.

The Idaho Department of Fish and Game reported a drop in the state’s wolf population from about 1,337 in 2019 to 1,090 in 2023. However, advocates argue that the state’s population estimates may be significantly flawed, potentially overstating the actual number of wolves roaming Idaho’s wildlands. Read More…
