US: Western Montana Growers Cooperative expands local food business
The Western Montana Growers Cooperative has evolved in its ten-year history from a scrappy $200,000 per year business to a nearly $1 million per year business, reports the Missoulian. A recent study by University of Montana environmental studies students showed that the food hub has grown each year in members and sales.
