Craig and Katie Smith are the owners of Idaho Spice Company inside the Oakes Brothers Building in Caldwell. The husband and wife team seemed to have mastered the work-life balance, or at least Craig has.
“She’s the brains, the beauty, the brawn behind everything. I just do what I’m told,” joked Idaho Spice Company co-owner and husband of Katie, Craig Smith.
Craig, a ten-year veteran, spent a decade working with other vets after his military career.
“I had a pretty good job at a certain place and I was getting a little stressed and I decided to resign and Idaho Spice Company is kind of my mid-life crisis!” laughed Craig.
Cooking at home had grown to be something they loved, even if out of necessity.
“We have six kids between the two of us, so we pretty much had to run a kitchen in our own house for the longest time. We had to be creative, be able to budget appropriately to be able to feed all the kids in our house,” said Idaho Spice Company co-owner and wife of Craig, Katie Smith.
