Enjoy and thank you for shopping at Palouse Paradise Baskets!
Mission Statement
Our mission is twofold - We support our local economy located in the Inland Northwest by purchasing products here to sell in our baskets. This small region has some products that have achieved national and international acclaim. We're proud of our local merchants and we want to promote them. Proceeds from the sale of our beautiful baskets go to the Scholarship Fund at St. Mary's School in Moscow, Idaho.Who are you helping?
