If we could map out all the cool Farmers' Markets across the state of Montana, it would look a little like this. Markets are incredibly popular here, from the largest city to the smallest town. World class agricultural roots, talented artists, and a strong sense of buying local ensure that you're never far away from a Farmers' Market in Montana.

Beautiful scenery. Ginormous combines. Dawn to dusk workday. Shelby, Montana. Aerial footage. Put them all together and you've got this stunning video made by Nick Welker.
