Here in Montana, you can relish in the state’s leading industry of agriculture, from the vast fields of wheat and grains to hobby pig farms. With our clear rivers, big skies and clean air, the food cultivated in Montana’s fields and land has a layer of flavors rarely found elsewhere. I have been cooking meals professionally for more than twenty-five years, and still, nothing compares to the quality of lamb from Sweet Grass County or the fresh huckleberries picked along the mountain streams. Agriculture is a part of life for many Montanans. If you are fortunate enough to share in the practices of their hard work, the food you are savoring becomes a story more than a meal. Take a drive through Montana along the miles and miles of wheat fields or past the green spring pastures filled with newly born calves, and you can smile knowing that the quality of ingredients you receive in Montana is well nourished through the air, water and the hands that tend the land.
