Jaime and Ed Walker

Jaime and Ed Walker are longtime Palouse residents with a deep love for the region and the communities that make it such a wonderful place to call home. They are passionate about building up and championing the best of Moscow and the surrounding area: nonprofit organizations, community events, and any activities that support the health and vitality of Moscow and the entire Palouse.

Jaime was born and raised in Pullman and is a 2007 honors graduate of Washington State University with a bachelor’s degree in Environmental and Resource Economics and Management. She is also a graduate of the 2020 cohort of Leadership Moscow and leads out the Moscow Nonprofit Roundtable, a consortium of local organizations doing great work across the region. Jaime has been serving in a development and communications role with Palouse Land Trust since 2015.

Ed is originally from Tillamook, but has been a Garfield boy since the age of 7. Ed is a trained heavy equipment technician and spent over 14 years serving the rental needs of the region at Moscow and Pullman Building Supply. In 2022, Jaime and Ed pursued what had originally been planned to be the retirement gig: making sausage, jerky, and other tasty smoked products professionally. They assumed ownership of Hog Heaven Sausages, now Happy Hog Meatery, where Ed works full time and Jaime assists when not at the land trust. In addition to supplying our local Rosauers grocery stores with meaty treaties, they are honored to be on the menu at many local restaurants. They are thrilled to give back through fundraising Meat-n Greets, supporting nonprofit special events, and providing advocacy for small businesses and nonprofits in the area.

Jaime and Ed moved to Moscow in 2009, and are enthusiastic hikers who love exploring the local mountain trails and logging roads with their dogs, fishing local waterways and reservoirs, working in the garden, and exploring new culinary adventures. (Fur) children include Leonidas and Maverick pups, Gordon kitty, and multiple fish and frogs.
