SUMMARY:3rd Governor's Summit on Local Food & Ag
DESCRIPTION:The 2026 summit aims to focus on designing a strategic plan to increase the Montana markets for Montana-produced food from their current state of 3% to at least 33% in the coming decade. Montana residents spent $5.2 billion on food in 2021\, yet only $158 million (about 3%) was spent on food produced in the state1. Increasing that share to 33% would redirect hundreds of millions of dollars into Montana’s economy each year. Local food spending has a strong ripple effect: for every $1 spent\, an estimated $0.47 of additional economic activity is generated(2). \nAccording to the USDA\, farmers can retain up to four to five times more of the food dollar when selling through local channels. (3) These gains would largely benefit rural communities and small to mid-sized producers\, keeping more money and meaningful work rooted in Montana. \nInstitutional markets have the potential to generate significant economic returns. For example\, if just one-third of the $76.6 million spent annually on MT school meals (4) came from Montana producers\, it would represent over $25 million in additional local food sales each year.\nIncreasing local food consumption complements Montana’s existing reach into global markets. It diversifies farm income and strengthens food security by creating shorter\, more adaptable supply chains. During COVID-19\, local markets like CSAs and food hubs proved more resilient and accessible than national distributors\, helping communities access food when store shelves were empty. (5)

SUMMARY:The Werks Market
DESCRIPTION:Gardenwerks is excited to launch their third food and produce market that supports small\, local agriculture. They learned many things with their first market and will be increasing our food/produce vendors. They hope to provide a well rounded market that allows customers to be able to “shop” similar to a grocery store (only better in our opinion!). Gardenwerks is looking for vendors who do fresh local produce\, baked goods\, dairy\, meat\, grains\, herbs\, etc. \nThis event was created with the goal to bring the Helena community together to shop small and buy local.
