Corporation for the Northern Rockies (CNR) and Gallatin
Valley Independent Business Alliance (GVIBA) are working
together to increase the visibility of sustainable local producers
and the business establishments that carry their products.
This campaign publicizes the story behind the people, products
and services involving local food in the area. It links Montana
products with Montana restaurants in the Gallatin Valley, Park
County and Big Sky areas. Corporation for the Northern Rockies
and Gallatin Valley Independent Business Alliance coordinate the Montana
Farm to Restaurant Campaign which works as a collaboration
between 30 Montana restaurants and 23 Montana sustainable producers.
The collaboration:
- Promotes local restaurants.
- Promotes local, sustainable Montana producers.
- Supports the economic multiplier effect.*
- Strengthens our local, sustainable agricultural communities.**
- Educates consumers and diners about locally grown food.
- Encourages the consumption of nutritious and healthy foods.
* The economic "multiplier effect" (the number of
times a single dollar is circulated in a community) is higher
for family farms than other business sectors. Consumers
can increase it by supporting our producers while they support
our communities.
** Sustainable… “Meeting the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”
