Our producers

The people who feed you.

When you buy something at Pishkun, this is who you're supporting. That is the whole idea. Here are some of the families behind our shelves, largely in their own words.

Montana Sheep Company

From
Greenfield Bench, Fairfield · 17 mi
Raises
Grass-fed Targhee lamb, no antibiotics or hormones
Find it
In our freezer

Brent and Tracie Roeder started twenty years ago with “a dream, an unfenced piece of ground, 50 sheep, and a lot of hope.” Today they and their children Ben, Caroline and Wes raise more than 3,000 lambs a year, born at home and summered along the Blackfoot River. The company name dates to 1881.

“We are products of FFA, 4-H and agricultural families generations deep.”

Smoot Honey

From
Power · 24 mi
Since
1964 · third generation
Makes
Montana honey from alfalfa, clover, sainfoin and canola

Owned and run by Mark Jensen and James Rehm, Smoot's 5,500 colonies forage some 5,000 square miles around Power, Great Falls, Fairfield and Conrad. Their own storefront runs on the honour system, too.

“Each year, we produce about 600,000 pounds of fine, table grade Montana honey… Our bees spend the winter in California where they help pollinate almonds and other food crops.”

Blue Truck Bread

From
Power · 24 mi
Makes
Sourdough from organic Golden Triangle wheat
Find it
Blue Truck sourdough loaves

Jacob and Courtney Cowgill bake with four ingredients: flour, water, salt and starter. They moved home to rural Central Montana to raise their children and build the bakery.

“We believe in the ‘taste of place’ and to us, Central Montana tastes like a crusty, hearty loaf of sourdough bread… made from flour, water, salt and sourdough starter that pulls the yeast from the wild Montana skies.”

Stick Leg Ranch

From
Valier · 34 mi
Since
2020
Find it
Summer sausage, bacon and cuts in our freezer

Seth and Jennie Becker started Stick Leg Ranch in 2020, when they saw a need for food that was both nutritious and easy for local families to get. Valier is just up the road, so this is about as close to home as our meat gets.

Roots & Shoots

From
Great Falls · 46 mi
Since
2024 · mother and son
Makes
Handmade soap, lip balm, shampoo bars, whipped tallow
“Roots & Shoots started in our kitchen when my mom and I made our very first batch of soap. It was lavender, very yellow, and a little thick for pouring… Since then we have been hooked.”

Kalispell Kreamery

From
Flathead Valley · 102 mi
Makes
Unhomogenized “Cream On Top” milk, half & half, yogurt
Find it
In our cooler, delivered Wednesdays

A Montana family dairy whose whole milk is left unhomogenized, so the cream rises to the top the way milk used to. Fresh dairy arrives with the Wednesday delivery and moves quickly: gallons and half-gallons of whole milk, half & half, and Honey Cream Top yogurt when available.
