Taneum Canyon Chili
The Taneum Canyon Chili embodies northwest flavors. Packed full of garlic, onion and chili powder it tastes great on potatoes. We like to throw a bunch of bakers in the oven then put a couple packages on the stove and invite the whole family over. It’s a great meal and like pizza tastes even better the next day.

Bean Hints & Nutrition:
The USDA recommends that adults eat three cups of beans per week for the maximum health benefit. Beans are naturally low in total fat, contain no saturated fat or cholesterol, and are an excellent source of protein, calcium, iron, folic acid, and potassium.
Fun Fact: Beans are high in fiber and complex sugars that our bodies have to work hard to digest; this may cause gas. Over time increase the amount of beans you eat to help your body adapt.

Tidbits of History
The Native American Indians must have foreseen a future in the beautiful forested Taneum Canyon. They had settlements along the Taneum Creek for hundreds of years. They enjoyed the abundant water, wild game, and protection of the canyon. Settlers came to the region in the mid to late 1800s and began homesteading. They established farms, orchards, a schoolhouse, a coal mine, and a sawmill at Skull Springs.
Timber was the major resource here. Logging began in the early 1900s using horses. In 1930 a railroad was built up the Taneum to Case Knife Creek. The ties for the railroad were cut at the Taneum Sawmill. This line was used, for the logging industry, until 1939. In 1936 The Conservation Corps established a camp at what is now the Taneum ranger station during the depression. They planted trees, fought fires, and cleaned and maintained trails. This work helped to employ those in need of work.
Today the canyon is home to many families and is used for camping, hiking, and other recreation purposes. The Taneum Canyon frames the sky to the west of the Rill Specialty Foods Factory and is one of our employee’s favorite places to camp and hike.
