Agritourism Conference and Grant Program Open Now

Registration for the annual Montana Agritourism Conference, Nov. 5-6, is now open! The only statewide gathering dedicated to the intersection of working lands and the visitor experience, this conference is a great way to learn how agritourism can strengthen local communities, build connections and share Montana’s story.

• Local governments, including city governments, county governments, and
• Consolidated governments;
• Schools, including K-12, universities, and colleges;

• Enrolled member(s) of the eight (8) federally-recognized Montana Tribes;
• Montana residents; and
• Businesses, including not-for-profit businesses, that are registered and in good standing with the Montana Secretary of State if required by Montana law.
