Harvest
on Main
Thank you. On August 27, more than 125 guests sat down to one long table on Main Street in Ronan and raised about $19,000 for work across the valley. The dinner is over, and gifts are still welcome.
One Long Table
on Main Street
On August 27, Main Street in Ronan turned into one long dinner table for the 11th annual Harvest on Main. More than 125 guests sat down to a fully local meal cooked on site by the Mission Mountain Food Enterprise Center crew, with drinks from Ronan Cooperative Brewery, live music from the Western Montana Musicians Cooperative, and a live auction with Tomy Parker.
Together, you raised about $19,000. Every dollar goes back into the work: business coaching and loans, the food center, co-op development, and the projects that keep our downtowns strong. Thank you to Valley Banks, our Host of the Harvest sponsor, and to every sponsor, auction donor, farmer, volunteer, and guest who made the night happen.
More than a dinner, Harvest on Main is a statement of values: that rural communities thrive when they know and invest in each other, and when they eat together.
What Makes
This Dinner Different
Every element of Harvest on Main is designed to close the distance between the land and the people who live on it.
Annual Harvest Celebration
Held every year in the summer or early fall, Harvest on Main marks the harvest season and celebrates another year of growing in the Mission Valley. Each year’s event features a unique menu crafted by regional chefs.
100% Local Producers
Every item on the menu comes from a farm, ranch, or food producer in our region. The event is a living showcase of what the Mission Valley grows, grains, vegetables, meat, dairy, and handcrafted food products.
Community at the Table
Guests sit with the farmers who grew their food. The evening builds lasting connections between producers and the broader community they feed, creating relationships that go well beyond a single dinner.
A Tradition Built on
Twenty-Five Years
Mission West CDP has spent twenty-five years building the rural food economy of western Montana, supporting farmers, food businesses, cooperatives, and the shared infrastructure they depend on. Harvest on Main is the moment each year when that work comes together around a single table.
The event draws community members, business leaders, elected officials, and regional stakeholders who share a commitment to the economic and cultural future of the Mission Valley. It’s a fundraiser, a celebration, and a reminder of why this work matters.
Each year’s event features live music, stories from the farmers and producers, and a program that highlights the year’s work and the community’s progress. Tickets typically sell out, so subscribe to hear when next year’s go on sale.
