WHAT IS THE TRAIL?

The Western Montana Food & Farm Trail is an interactive, self-guided adventure connecting you with the farms, flavors, and folks that shape our region’s vibrant local food community. With more than 100 stops across the Missoula, Bitterroot, and Flathead Valleys, the Trail invites you to meet the growers, taste what’s in season, and experience the culture and care behind the farms, markets, restaurants, and food businesses committed to local food.

The Trail Field Guide is your companion on the journey, with farm and food listings, curated itineraries, illustrated maps, event calendars, and more. Along the way, collect stamps as you explore for prizes or simply for the fun of it.
