Visited Whitefish this past week and saw an ad for a Beer Pairing Dinner at Purple Frog garden…read more Thought- hey! I love beer! I love farms! This is for me. So, my husband and I grabbed some of the last seats. We are so glad we did. The farm is so close to town and it is beautiful. The owners are so friendly; they started the farm in 1991. The food and beer pairings from Great Northern were awesome and the company was fantastic. One of our favorite things to do on vacation!

The Coop (play on words right? Coop like chicken house, and co-op like cooperative of farmers and…read moremerchants distributing goods and services) is a great community place and the Brain child of O'Brien Byrd. As a local, I have been coming here for a few years and find that it is the best in the valley. Recently other towns have picked up on its success (ahem Bigfork) and are attempting to copy Columbia Falls' success. The music featured at the coop is pretty fun and you will find a mix of good ol montanans, hippies, kids and others who just enjoy live music. Thursday's are great for picking up local vegetables and baked goods, flowers and novelties. The ImagineIf library comes to bring fun for the kids, there's a climbing wall and a bouncy house. There's a good selection of food trucks to satisfy your hunger and I've never had anything I haven't liked. Montana made gifts are also here. Get yourself a sno cone, a beer and a snack. See which distillery is featured and what brewery is featured for the evening. Leave happy and fat. But please cross on the designated cross walks and don't drink and drive.

Yet other larger breed dogs were allowed to continue to walk in the market, even ones who were barking at people. It's ok to say no dogs allowed, but it needs to be ALL dogs. Not just singling out specific dogs. This was our first time to visit the market as we have just moved here. We unfortunately will not be back.

The very freshest & tastiest organically grown local produce in the Flathead Valley…read more Hard-working, yet truly cheerful farmers offer up all sorts of veggies grown in their very special glacial soil. I don't know what their other 'heirloom' secrets are, but I know that their produce tastes more flavorful than I thought possible. The strawberries I recently picked dropped straight down from Heaven's strawberry patch. I put up a magical batch of strawberry jam & went back for 12 more pounds! The carrots & beets are crunchy & juicy with tender greens you just want to curl up with. As the season moves along you can delight in their onions, tomatoes, greens, roots, melons, eggplant, squash, sunflowers - you name it, they're growing it. They've been open to the public for about 2 years & I just became a member this season. Better than a regular CSA where you have to take a box of whatever they give you - here you can buy whatever you want/need & the cost is deducted from your 'tab'. Bonus: members get a 15% discount as well. The retail store offers local dairy products that taste creamy & decadently European. Local meats, eggs, honey, salsa, etc etc are available, too. One stop grocery shopping!
