Farm Dinners
A few Seasonal experiences coming soon for 2025!
In the meantime, we would absolutely love the opportunity to assist you in creating a delightful Farm-to-Table experience right at your home or vacation rental in 2025. Please feel free to email us with your creative ideas and specific requests! You can reach us at info@seasonalmontana.com.
Locally sourced food is a significant and cherished movement in Montana, and the economic tendrils of this initiative reach deeper than anyone might initially imagine. Throughout the vast expanse of Big Sky Country, farms, ranches, and local producers work diligently and passionately to provide us with the most delicious and high-quality ingredients possible. We take immense pride in supporting our local economy and the dedicated individuals who work tirelessly to ensure its stability and growth.
We firmly believe in the strength that comes from being part of a supportive community, and we are passionate about teaching children the essential journey of food—from its origins to the table. It is important for them to understand how individual families, alongside dedicated farmers, take great joy in nurturing, preparing, and ultimately consuming the food that sustains us all. Additionally, we uphold the belief that every person, regardless of their background, deserves access to fresh, nutritious, and healthful food. Thank you for your unwavering support and continued love of the culinary arts!

FOR A FARM-DINNER, SEASONAL MONTANA FOUNDER, OWNER, AND HEAD CHEF MELISSA HARRISON AND HER TEAM SERVED A “LOCAL SUMMER SALAD,” FEATURING FARM-FRESH, HARD-BOILED EGG CRUMBLES, CRISPY HARDSCRABBLE RANCH BACON, AND RADISH, RAINBOW CARROT, AND HEIRLOOM TOMATOES, TOPPED WITH A CHARRED ONION VINAIGRETTE. THE FRESH VEGETABLES WERE SOURCED FROM STREAMLINE FARMS, GALLATIN VALLEY BOTANICAL, AMALTHEA DAIRY, AND THREE HEARTS FARM. THE EDIBLE FLOWER GARNISHES, FROM KOKORO FLOWERS, ADD A FINISHING TOUCH.
It’s well past high-noon on a late-summer afternoon, and chef Melissa Harrison is standing in a field at Hardscrabble Ranch, east of Bozeman, Montana. Holding her hand on her forehead to shield her eyes from the sun, she looks out toward the horizon, checking the weather. Smoke from regional wildfires has obscured the Bridger Mountains, and a mass of dark clouds is moving in from the east. A hard wind snaps the yellow awning that shades two rows of long dining tables, where a few servers fold linen napkins and set silverware. Others are unloading folding chairs from a U-Haul truck parked next to the dining area. The sold-out Seasonal Montana dinner is scheduled to begin in less than two hours.
Harrison closes the weather app on her phone and turns back to the bustling portable kitchen. “Move a little faster, kitchen,” she calls to her team. “We’re going to get a thunderstorm!”
