Here Are The Most Beloved “Made In Montana” Brands

Exploring The Most Beloved Montana Brands

With the current discussions surrounding rising costs and tariffs increasing prices on imported goods, many people are beginning to focus on purchasing products made right here in America.

Montana has long been a supporter of local business, thanks to the "Made In Montana" program that was started in 1984.

The "Made In Montana" Program Empowers Local Producers

The "Made In Montana" program now has 3 distinct labeling options: "Made in Montana," "Grown in Montana," and also "Native American Made in Montana."

Currently, almost 2,500 artists, growers, and creators are active members of the labeling program. This information comes from Susan Joy with the Office of Tourism.

Which Montana Brand is Truly Beloved by Residents?

Before revealing which brand one website claims is the most beloved, let's take a moment to highlight some notable Montana brands that could have been contenders.

Town Pump

Town Pumps are everywhere in Montana, but do people love them? I'd say loyal is the correct term. I know some people that only get gas there, but I wouldn't say they love the place.

Great Harvest Bread Co.

About 11 years ago someone on Reddit created a map of each state's most famous brand, and at that time it was Great Harvest Bread Co., and you'd be hard-pressed to argue against them, as they have locations all over America.

Montana Knife Co.

A company that is only about 5 years old but was recently just featured in an episode of Dexter, so they're getting more popular, but we’ll probably need to wait a little longer..

So what does MarketBeat think is the most beloved brand in Montana?

Big Sky Brewing Co.

Nothing against Big Sky Brewing, because Moose Drool is that good, but is this really the most beloved brand in Montana?

Personally, I'd say it is Alpine Touch, because I don't know anyone who doesn't have that in their pantry right now.
