Farm to Table is a project of Community Giving Assistance Towards Employment (GATE), a 501(c)3 non-profit based in Glendive MT. Our Mission is to develop a sustainable local food system in Eastern Montana and Western North Dakota, increasing the vitality of our rural communities. Farm-to-Table works collaboratively with all sectors of the local food economy, including growers, value-added producers, restaurants, stores, institutional food services, and individual consumers to achieve our goal of a local food system.

We focus our work in the following areas:

Educating the public about the economic, environmental, and social benefits of local food systems through our web site, special events, and media outreach.
             
Increase consumer access to locally grown and produced food through promoting farmer’s markets and creating a Local Buyer’s Guide listing farms and food producers in the area. Promote grains and beans through our hulless barley based business Western Trails Food.

Increase grower/producer access to local markets through the formation of an Agricultural Producer’s Marketing Co-op. Join us.

Encourage local value-added food enterprises by establishing a commercial kitchen and other processing and packaging facilities in collaboration with the Co-op and Dawson Community College’s Culinary Arts Program.  Our long-term dream is to open a Farm-To-Table Restaurant featuring an all-local menu.

We encourage you to join us! Find out how to donate, volunteer or otherwise get involved.
