From April 7th to April 29th, we were entered in to the Real Montana short film competition put on by the Audience Awards. We received the information about the contest just days before the deadline, and managed to come up with a 1 minute film explaining our values and philosophy at Red Tractor. The contest awarded cash, and we immediately knew we could use whatever proceeds won to benefit Gallatin Valley Farm to School.

GVFS connects schools with local farmers and raises awareness as well as overall health for the community. There are lots of projects all arou...

Their other reasons for picking us are all about our ingredients! Gluten-free, locally sourced, and tasty! Which makes us smile BIG TIME because that is our greatest mission in life… our ingredients. It’s what’s on the inside that counts.
