Farms Near Missoula, MT

Neighborhood market at the Orchard Homes Country Life Club on South 3rd Street West in Missoula, Thursdays 4:30 to 7 p.m. from June through September. Started in 2008, it stays deliberately small and hyper-local: nearly every vendor farms within a mile of the market, so the produce is about as close-grown as it gets. Alongside vegetables and fruit you'll find farm-fresh eggs, baked goods, jams, jewelry, and crafts from Orchard Homes-area makers.
