We believe that agritourism is more than a side hustle

It’s a powerful way to preserve working lands, diversify rural economies, and tell the real stories of agriculture and place.

We know that Montana’s strength is its people—farmers, ranchers, growers, makers, guides—and that their stories deserve to be shared with care, respect, and agency.

We want to build a community of practice, not just a network of businesses—where we share, learn, challenge, and support one another in doing this work better.

We want to welcome people well. Whether it’s through a farm stay, a field dinner, a trail ride, or a u-pick afternoon, we’re shaping how people feel when they step onto Montana soil.

And maybe most of all: We’re here to hold space for the future of rural Montana.
One where tradition and innovation sit at the same table.
One where land, culture, and hospitality are held with reverence.
One where agritourism is a tool for transformation—for the land, for communities, and for the guests we invite in.

don’t just stand by the fence—open the gate!
