We’re excited to announce that the Gallatin Valley Farmers’ Market is participating in the Montana Harvest of the Month program this summer!
If you haven’t heard of it, Harvest of the Month (HOM) is a statewide initiative that highlights a different Montana-grown food each month—from juicy cherries to hearty winter squash—with the goal of connecting our communities to local food and the farmers who grow it.
What This Means at GVFM
Each week during the market season, we’ll be featuring one Harvest of the Month food at our GVFM info table. Here’s what you can look forward to:
- Free Recipe Cards using the featured food
- Fun Food Facts shared on our social media and at the table
- Spotlight on Local Products that tie into the harvest of the week
- Inspiration for Seasonal Eating and making the most of your market haul
While we don’t have a list of participating vendors just yet, we’ll be highlighting those who have items related to each month’s harvest as the season unfolds—so keep an eye out!
Why It Matters
We love this program because it aligns perfectly with what farmers markets are all about:
supporting local growers, eating fresh, seasonal food, and bringing our community together around good things. By spotlighting one local item at a time, we hope to make healthy, local eating a little more fun and approachable for everyone.
So come visit the GVFM info table each Saturday to grab a recipe, learn something new, and discover what’s in season. Let’s celebrate Montana-grown food one harvest at a time!
