Demand For Local Food Products Continues To Surge

The cows are staying busy at the Kalispell Kreamery.
Every day, the 220 Holsteins at the 80-acre family farm on the rural outskirts of town produce roughly 1,500 gallons of milk. After being pasteurized, the milk is bottled in various forms, from creamy non-homogenized whole milk to 2 percent and skim milk, as well as heavy cream. It’s also now being made into all-natural yogurt, including honey flavors and a Greek style yogurt.
The herd of cows living off Farm to Market Road and the all-natural dairy products they produce have become popular across Montana, from Kalispell to Billings and almost every major city in between. In fact, grocery stores are having a hard time keeping Kalispell Kreamery products in stock.
“Our production can’t keep up with the demand,” said co-owner Mary Tuck.
