Other produce and meat is sourced from the best of the area's organic growers and small family ranches. Bread and other baked goods are baked in house daily using organic flour and grains from Montana. Their menu highlights the peak flavors of each season and each small farm in our area.

“Montana casual” is the dress code for the event. This can include nice jeans, flannel and other button-up shirts, sweaters, and vests. July weather is often in the mid-70s to 90s; evenings can get chilly, so we’d recommend bringing a light insulated jacket.
