Come meet your food.
A self-serve store in downtown Choteau, stocked with food grown and made in our part of Montana, by people we know by name.
The store
A Montana grocer that runs on trust.
There's no one behind the counter. You come in, take your time, choose what you need, and pay on your way out.
Most of what's on our shelves comes from people we know: a baker in the Golden Triangle, a honey family in Power, a sheep ranch on the Greenfield Bench. Montana-made goods carry a shelf tag naming the town they come from, so you always know who you're supporting.
How it works
No cashier. No queue.
Come in
The doors are open every day from 6:30 in the morning until 9 at night.
Choose
Fresh produce, Montana dairy and meat, bread, pantry staples and household goods.
Pay on the way out
At the self-checkout, by credit or debit card, SNAP/EBT or gift card. No cash. First visit? Message us and we'll walk you through it.
