Trent Harvest Foods — Local services in Spokane Valley

We are regular customers at Harvest Foods on Trent. And when I say “regular customers” I mean several times per week. Am I particularly pleased that we go so often? No. But it is just so convenient that we can’t resist.

Harvest Foods is like a throwback from 30 years ago. It has a certain neighborhood charm to it. That is not to say that the prices are the equivalent to 30 years ago. Heck, the prices aren’t even equivalent to what you will find at Walmart or Safeway. Yes, you will pay more for groceries at Harvest Foods. I like to think of it as the convenience fee for shopping there. You see, we live in a nearby neighborhood close to the store and quite often when we need just 2-4 items we will go to Harvest Foods. It saves us the hassle and headache of venturing down Sullivan or riding Trent all the way to Argonne. Okay, back to what I said about not being particularly pleased about us going there so much. I think if we went once per week I would be fine with the uptick in prices but we need to do a better job at getting most of our items at Walmart at the beginning of the week so we don’t need to resort to going to Harvest Foods 3-4 times per week…cause it adds up.

With all that said, the staff at Harvest Food is wonderful. All the cashiers are sweet and kind. They always give stickers to my kids. They are also always pleasant and knowledgeable when I ask them where something is at in the store. Their candy selection is pretty vast which is fun because sometimes when we need something to do, I will reward our kids for good behavior and we will walk to Harvest Foods and they will pick out a couple of sweet items. The only thing more impressive than their candy section is their beer section—seriously, it is superb!

One final thing to add. I have never gotten the impression that Harvest Foods offers the freshest of items. So just keep that in mind. I wouldn’t make it your produce destination. But if you need to make a last minute stop for spaghetti sauce, a 6-pack, pint of ice cream, or box of cereal, Harvest Foods is...

Update May 2025: They seem to have hired an occasional security guard. This man drives a side by side atv with license plates, and parks in front of the door or propane tank. He is regularly heavily intoxicated and aggressive. I had assumed he was a customer until I seen him behind the counter. Avoid interacting with this man.

Surprisingly well stocked for a smaller store. Prices are higher than average overall, but worth the convenience. Big selection of beer, wine, hard alcohol, and of all things, wood chips for smoking foods, and houseplants. The produce and bread selections are limited, but adequate. They also sell gas, and alegedly propane when the only person trained is on-site and the store has no other customers in it. The checkout lines are usually short and move quickly. Most of the employees are friendly and adequate at their jobs.

Side note: this is the only store I have seen the 80s era shopping carts with the space under the basket big enough for a kid to ride under. Probably bought when the store was last remodeld...

We go often to Harvest. Its part of the Yokes, Rosauers family of stores. Hey, for a neighborhood grocery its tops in my experience. The prices are not bad, some higher than "cheap" stores like Walmart and some lower...yes lower. The quality of the meat & produce is top-shelf. Seriously. Selection is based on the buying habits of those who frequent it most so if you don't like what's stocked: its your own fault for not going there more often. The people who work there are very friendly, very helpful and, for the most part, smiley. It reminds me of the city grocery stores we used to have on every block in NYC. The store was part of your extended family. So is Harvest....
