Yellowstone Valley Food Hub
CMYK loves to support local efforts, and there is nothing more local than the Food Hub. The Yellowstone Valley Citizen’s Council initiated the project to link consumers with fresh, local foods grown in south-central and eastern Montana.
Summertime fundraising has helped bring the Hub closer to reality. Local food producers are taking up the reins to run the Hub as a collective of family farmers and ranchers. The Hub is initially planning to supply local restaurants and offer seasonal CSA boxes. The first seasonal boxes are available for pickup in December. If you're interested, get more details here.
The Yellowstone Valley Food Hub is an exciting development for our area and is the first of its kind in eastern Montana. Food Hub producers are frequently concerned about methods, promoting minimal use of pesticides and emphasizing ethical and humane care of animals. We’ll have better access to healthier food that’s traveled fewer miles. A reliable supply of local food will bolster restaurants catering to the foodies among us. We will be able to meet our producers, understand how the food was raised, and support our community with our food purchases. The Food Hub is a win all around, and we’re looking forward to all that it will bring to our community.
