Montana Farmers Union Magazine Winter Vol. 3

19 Jan Montana Farmers Union Magazine Winter Vol. 3

Winter means a welcome time to rest and reflect in anticipation of the next season.
Still, equipment needs to be maintained, bookwork needs to be caught up on, shop projects wait, and animals must be fed and watered.

Much like farm work, the magazine goes through lulls that give us space to plan and then flurries of activity to make deadlines. Also like farm work, there’s always something to do.

Each edition, we ponder what members have shared with us – what you’re excited about, the challenges you need support to face, and your steady work to make dreams reality.

Read the entire Winter Edition of MFU Magazine

We fill these pages with your stories so you can be inspired by each other, learn from each other, celebrate with each other, and continue to build the Montana Farmers Union community with each other.

In this winter edition, be inspired by work toward food sovereignty and how cooperatives are helping communities face challenges; learn about winter grazing, forcing bulbs, and agritourism efforts in the state; celebrate communities taking strides to remain vibrant; and try out some of the pantry-friendly recipes shared by staff members.

We invite you to connect with the MFU community beyond these pages too through your regional Membership Ambassador or through one of many upcoming events, including MFU’s Women’s Conferences Feb. 2-4 and Feb. 9-11, Book Club, or educational programming available online and in person.
