For many Montanans, buying local is a big thing.

You certainly see it through the summer as many folks attend all of the different Farmers Markets, and then there are the Made In Montana Fairs where many locals buy gifts for others and themselves. In fact, I believe it might have been a Montanan that created the term "Big Box Store".

So, it's sort of ironic that one of the biggest box stores in the country is now carrying a product in all of their stores that happens to be from right here in Bozeman.

Ok, so what is it? Something with huckleberry? One of those amazing Bequet caramels? Actually, its something we've all been using most of our lives.

Milk.

Yep, you read that right, good ole milk, except milk comes in two varieties (no, we aren't talking normal and chocolate) There is A1 milks and A2 milk and it turns out, that one of those types is known to cause issues in the stomach (A1), so the folks over at Pioneer Pastures only uses the A2 type of milk.

What does Pioneer Pastures produce?

Pioneer Pastures is located in Bozeman and to paraphrase their statement, want to make milk great again. They offer both milk and protein shakes, all made from type A2 milk, which allows anyone to drink it, even those who might be lactose intolerant.

As far as milk goes, they offer whole, 2 percent, and chocolate. Their protein shakes come in both chocolate and vanilla and each has 30 grams of protein per unit with only 2 grams of sugar.
