Vilsack and Tester Tour the Co-op

Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack and Senator Jon Tester visited our Co-op on Saturday, March 6 for a tour and discussion on local and organic agriculture.

The group focused on the Co-op’s Farm to Market Program and efforts to strengthen and encourage organic, local and sustainable food systems in the Gallatin Valley and beyond.

Below are a few pictures of their visit, all courtesy of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
