About this opportunity

About Made In Montana: This program assists Montana businesses in developing and marketing their products both in and out of the state. The program, which also includes Grown in Montana and Native American Made in Montana, helps build recognition for products that are "authentically Montana." That means products are and/or enhanced in the state, resulting in 50% or more in added value. The program requires that individuals and businesses meet the program's value-added definition to use the trademarked image on their qualifying products. The Made in Montana program is not a certification program for companies or businesses but rather for their products. To be eligible, the person or company producing or growing the product must sign a self-attest form that states the product meets the Made in Montana product criteria. Retail stores and establishments serving ready-to-consume food or beverages can also join the program and use the logo to signify they sell or serve Made in Montana products. Our Logos: We are a badge of honor for artisans, growers and craftspeople working for something bigger than the bottom line. Made in Montana: Used when the product is made, created or enhanced in the state and is now worth 50% or more in added value. Grown in Montana: Used when the product is either grown from the start or significantly grown and finished in the state and is now worth 50% or more in added value. Native American Made in Montana: Used when the product is made, created or enhanced in the state by an enrolled member of a Montana tribe and is now worth 50% or more in added value. Taste our Place: Recognizing establishments serving ready-to-consume food and beverages crafted with Made in Montana or Grown in Montana ingredients.
