Looking to add a unique and memorable experience to your group tour? Agritourism combines Montana’s top two industries—tourism and agriculture—and offers groups the chance to experience agricultural life firsthand at local farms, ranches, wineries and various agricultural businesses. Groups might find themselves participating in a variety of activities, from picking fresh Flathead cherries and churning cheese at a local creamery to herding cattle by horseback with real ranchers or trekking with llamas.

We’ve put together a four-day itinerary for groups and FIT clients interested in agritourism. This curated travel plan showcases some of the best experiences in our region, providing opportunities to connect with the land, heritage and culture of Western Montana.

Groups can try ranching for themselves by booking a stay at a working ranch. 

Highlights Include:

  • Community Crop-Sharing
  • CSKT Bison Range
  • Farm Tours (from Dairy to Emus)
  • Glacier National Park
  • Hands-On Experiences with Llamas and Goats
  • Permaculture Farming
