Western Sustainability Exchange is working to increase the visibility of local producers that use sustainable agricultural techniques and the business establishments that carry their products.

This program publicizes the story behind the people, products and services involving local food in the area. It links Montana products with Montana restaurants in Billings, Bozeman, Laurel, Livingston, Missoula, Norris, Pray and Red Lodge.  The Montana Farm to Restaurant Connection:

  • Promotes local restaurants
  • Promotes Montana producers using agricultural practices that protect our natural resources
  • Provides economic development by keeping dollars circulating within the local communities (the program facilitated $770,000 in sales for local producers in 2010)
  • Strengthens our local, sustainable agricultural communities
  • Educates consumers and diners about locally grown food, and
  • Encourages the consumption of nutritious and healthy foods
