Producer

Western Montana Growers Cooperative (WMGC) is a farmer-owned coalition of growers in the Flathead, Jocko, Mission and Bitterroot Valleys whose goal is to provide the market in our region with fresh, quality products from our farms. To reach that goal, the cooperative provides a wholesale marketing and delivery service for its members. We strive to improve the local food system of our area by enhancing the sustainability of local farms and contributing to local economic growth, while reducing the demand of produce being shipped here from long distances.
The goal of the Western Montana Growers Cooperative (WMGC) is to provide consumers within our region with a wide range of fresh, quality products from independently owned ranches, farms and food processing operations.
To reach that goal, we, as producer members and employees of the WMGC are committed to building a stable organization based on cooperative principles which integrates food production, acquisition, marketing and distributing systems to serve western Montana and adjacent regions.

WMGC strives to maintain the identity, integrity and long term viability of locally produced and distributed food products within the regional marketplace by supporting and serving a diverse base of independently owned farms, ranches and food processors. WMGC members and employees work together to effectively build relationships between each other, non-member suppliers and consumers that strengthen the larger communities of which we are a part. WMGC monitors growing practices and quality control procedures to achieve high quality standards and ensure products handled meet all food safety requirements and market needs. Member owned farms and ranches manage their land in a sustainable manner and preserve the rural landscape in ways that benefit the environment and local communities. WMGC members and their employees interact with and provide for all segments of their local communities in the process of producing and distributing nourishing, locally grown food products.
