Ledgestone Billings HotelYellowstone Valley Farmers Market was founded by a group of Montanans in 1985. These Montanan’s founders wanted a place for farmers and growers of the Yellowstone County area to display and sell their foods and products. This Yellowstone County market takes pride in keeping a 50/50 ratio of food vendors to growers; almost all food was grown within a radius of 120 miles! Nowadays, you can meet and spot vendors from more than 30 years ago.
Farmer’s Markets play an important role in promoting healthy communities. At the same time, local o tourist shoppers enjoy the taste and freshness of locally grown foods, and vendors capture more value of their products from direct sales. Yellowstone Valley Farmers Market is considered one of the best farmer’s markets in Montana cause, unlike other markets (that have slowly converted into flea markets), more than 90% of the vendors at YVFM are local farmers and growers.
The YVFM’s vendors offer a wide variety of locally made fresh and organic fruits, vegetables, plants, flowers, honey, chicken, meat, baked goods, and more. So when you shop here, you are truly supporting local businesses. Some of the most recognized brands/vendors at the Yellowstone Valley Farmers Market are Ambrosia, Ranch House Meat Market, Burnt Bean Ranch, Heiko’s Bakedy, and Kenny D’s.
