Local, Sustainable Food Solutions
At Four Roots, we're not just about farming; we're about transforming the way our community interacts with food. Our organization is deeply rooted in the values of sustainability, local farming, and giving back. We connect local family farmers with consumers year-round through the Scalehouse Market, ensuring that what is grown here stays here, benefiting both farmers and our community. Through hydroponics and modern agricultural practices, we're pioneering sustainable solutions to nourish Eastern Washington.
Food security is at the core of our mission. We're dedicated to enhancing food access and quality in Eastern Washington. With over 89% of locally grown food leaving the state, we're changing the narrative by keeping food local and resilient. Our produce boxes are packed with nutrient-dense, fresh, and unprocessed goods, enriching the diets of those facing temporary hardships. We're not just providing food; we're supporting local farmers, promoting healthy communities, and breaking down food scarcity barriers.
Breaking Down Food Barriers
Nice Box is our approach to sustainable, locally sourced produce. We are committed to transforming the way communities buy and access their food to make it more sustainable for both the environment and our local economy. Nice Box proudly offers a convenient selection of options. With produce sourced from Eastern Washington and assembled right here in Spokane, Nice Box supports local farming, reduces food miles, and ensures freshness.
But that's not all – some of the produce in Nice Box comes directly from our own hydroponic system within our warehouse, combining innovation with sustainability. You can pick-up at locations near you to make it easy to grab your Nice Box on your way home from work, all while avoiding delivery fees.

Program Under Maintenance
At Four Roots, our vision of innovation and sustainability came together in one of our largest projects - the Four Roots Alternative Farm. Located in the heart of downtown Spokane, we are out to prove that sustainable farming can happen ANYWHERE.
Our mission extends beyond just growing produce; it's about pioneering a greener, more sustainable future for Eastern Washington.
Our sustainable farming practices reduce carbon footprint, water usage, and space. The Four Roots Alternative Farm not only produces high-quality, local produce year-round but also serves as an educational hub. We're committed to providing opportunities for our community to learn about and embrace this innovative farming method.

Scalehouse Year-Round Market
Four Roots is excited to be partnering with the Spokane Conservation District to develop the Scalehouse Market. With its year-round market, onsite commercial learning kitchen, and accessible cold, frozen, and dry storage, it will provide a sustainable solution for the Spokane community and its farmers by providing year-round access to fresh, locally grown food. While it's not open yet, we encourage you to stay connected with Four Roots for announcements and future involvement in this exciting project.
