Processing Facility
& Services
Montana's only shared-use food processing facility, 13,000 sq ft of FDA-registered, USDA-inspected, certified-organic infrastructure available to food businesses of all sizes.
Infrastructure Built for Rural Food Businesses
The Mission Mountain Food Enterprise Center was built on the premise that access to professional food processing infrastructure shouldn't require a million-dollar investment. Our 13,000 square-foot shared-use facility gives food businesses in rural western Montana access to the equipment, certifications, and technical expertise they need to produce, process, and scale their products.
Whether you're a farmer looking to add value to your harvest, a specialty food producer ready to move beyond the home kitchen, or an established food business needing extra capacity, the MMFEC is built for you.
Facility use is reserved through the Food Corridor platform, which handles scheduling, payment, and compliance documentation in one place.
