About YVFM
Yellowstone Valley Farmers Market was founded in 1985 by a group of Montanans who wanted a place for Yellowstone County farmers and growers to display and sell their products.
We take pride in keeping a 50/50 ratio of growers to food vendors, and nearly all food was grown within a 120 mile radius. Some of the original vendors from 38 years ago are still with us today!
We hope you enjoy the market as much as we enjoy the environment, the people, and all the fabulous vegetables, fruits, snacks, meat products, and hot and ready-to-eat foods like egg rolls and crepes.
