MFU Ambassador Network Grows

Gwyneth Givens spent her formative years in the heart of Montana’s Golden Triangle wheat country. Her family’s diverse business enterprises of finishing hogs, raising AQHA performance horses and operating a seed cleaning plant in the small community of Big Sandy taught her about the agricultural world.

Gwyneth was active in 4-H her entire school career, excelling in horse, hog and sewing projects. Eventually she discovered her love of growing and preparing food and attended culinary school in Denver, Colorado. After becoming a pastry chef and working in fine dining across the country, she decided to move back to Montana, where she married John Wicks. The couple now operates his family farm near Tiber Dam.

Gwyn has become an avid gardener and beekeeper after capturing a swarm in 2019. Her heart is truly devoted to locally grown food that is accessible to all, sustainable farming practices, supporting local food processing, and keeping farms and ranches in the family.

As an ambassador for MFU, Gwyn is excited to support ag education and programs for Montana’s next generation of farmers and ranchers. If you are in the Hi-line/Golden Triangle area and want to get more involved, contact Gwyneth at ggivens@montanafarmersunion.com
