Buckeye Beans & Herbs Soup Mixes Located on the Spokane River, just a stone's throw from Spokane, the mill town of Buckeye was once a bustling community of three hundred residents. But the mill closed in 1912 and most of the townsfolk moved on. Buckeye Beans & Herbs was founded just downstream from this sleepy little town and was inspired to create genuine products that reflect a "simpler way of life".
