WALLA WALLA — The management team that previously ran Walla Walla's shuttered pasture-raised meat operation Thundering Hooves has started its own sustainable meats company and will sell off the remaining Thundering Hooves inventory as its first order of business.
The owners behind Blue Valley Meats all met while working in various roles for Thundering Hooves and will continue the sustainable farming practices for which that company was known under the new name.
Blue Valley Meats will open a new retail shop in a different part of town than Thundering Hooves' Isaacs Avenue location, said Keith Swanson, who ran sales for Thundering Hooves and will now do the same at Blue Valley Meats. Swanson did not disclose the new location. He said it's still under construction. A soft opening is planned in early May, and a grand opening is expected in June.
