Western Montana Growers Cooperative
The Western Montana Growers Cooperative (WMGC) is a coalition of growers in the Flathead, Jocko, Mission and Bitterroot Valleys whose goal is to provide the market in this region with fresh, quality products from their farms. To reach that goal, the cooperative provides a wholesale marketing and delivery service for its members. WMGC can help some of the smaller schools in the region source local produce, and the cooperative's "Harvest Calendar" is an important resource for planning seasonal menus as well as Farm to School meal events.
