What first started as a presence in the Bozeman and Billings Farmers Market, the D&D West…read moreGreenhouse also had a small roadside stand in Livingston, a half-way point. From there D&D built this shop, including the greenhouse, and opened this more permanent stand.
Local vegetables, meats, jars of relishes, pickled oddities (!), some salads, jams and jellies are all ready for the choosing. As expected, the vegetable inventory changes, and right now tomatoes, potatoes, onions are plentiful. Also sold here are locally raised meats (chicken, pork, duck, beef, lamb) including sausages and brats. I also noticed bison meat and duck. They were sold out of eggs - both the free-range chicken and duck eggs, though, so that must be a call-ahead-to-be-sure item.
There was enough in this store to make a meal, between the proteins, the vegetables and available breads and cookies. It's a perfect spot for picking up things for a camping trip, or a day trip, to Yellowstone, or to stock up and savor later.
D&D has two small greenhouses at this location with potted flowers and plants, patio planters and hanging baskets. The person working that day was very helpful when I was looking for a plant for a low light location. She spent a lot of time explaining things and even noted what I was looking at was on a two-for-one special that weekend.
There's also an on-line store, but like the market itself, may only be open seasonally.
Stop in, support the local community, and know what you're getting is locally grown or produced. Anything left over is donated to the local food pantries, a nice touch.
