Description:
The Western Montana Food & Farm Trail, a new agritourism initiative led by Farm Connect Montana, is officially underway for the 2026 season, offering locals and visitors a new kind of food and farm adventure across Western Montana.

Running June 1 through October 31, the self-guided Trail spans more than 200 miles and features more than 100 farms, ranches, farmers markets, restaurants, breweries, and food businesses across the Missoula, Bitterroot, Flathead, and Mission Valleys. Along the way, participants are invited to meet growers and makers, taste what’s in season, and experience the culture and care behind
Western Montana’s local food community.

At the center of the experience is the passport-style Trail Field Guide, beautifully illustrated by Missoula-based artist Courtney Blazon. The guide features illustrated maps, curated itineraries, seasonal highlights, and more than 100 local food
destinations throughout the region. The guide also includes more than $130 in special offers from participating farms and businesses.

To celebrate the launch, regional Trail launch parties will take place in Missoula, the Bitterroot Valley, and the Flathead Valley throughout early June, featuring Field Guide distribution, local food vendors, giveaways, and opportunities to learn more about the Trail.

Trail Field Guides ($10) will be available for purchase.
