For the 4th least populated state in the country, it seems Montana has lots of options when it comes to groceries.

Whether you prefer planting a garden, shopping at one of the many Farmers' Markets across the state, or your shopping leads you to more organic stores like Bozeman Co-op or the Good Food Store, you have lots of choices.
