Jorge Cano was born and raised in Spokane, where a high school environmental studies class sparked his passion for agriculture. After studying sustainable food and farming at the University of Montana and working on farms during college, he and his wife, Madyson, founded Casa Cano Farms in Valleyford in 2014. Together they raise vegetables, microgreens, pigs, and cows, and have also been building out a regional food hub to strengthen Spokane’s local food system. As first-generation farmers, they are proud to contribute to a resilient and growing local food community.
