Montana doesn't have an officially designated 'state food' in the way that some states do. However, Montana is strongly associated with several foods that represent its agricultural heritage and culture: Beef, Bison, Huckleberries, and Pork chop sandwich. If you're looking for something that's uniquely 'Montana,' huckleberries are probably the most distinctive, as they grow wild in the mountainous regions and are celebrated in local cuisine and festivals. Chalet Market has everything you need to experience the true taste of Montana
Montana stands as the undisputed champion for high-quality bison jerky, thanks to its vast open ranges, rich soil, and passionate ranchers dedicated to sustainable practices. The state's unique combination of climate, geography, and ranching traditions creates an ideal environment for raising healthy bison that roam free across rolling hills and lush grasslands. When shopping for Montana bison jerky, look for locally sourced ingredients, simple wholesome seasonings without artificial preservatives, and premium cuts like top round or flank steak. Visit local farmers' markets and specialty food stores to discover artisanal varieties that capture the authentic, mouth-watering flavor of the Wild West.
The thunder of bison hooves once echoed across Montana's vast plains, and today, that wild spirit lives on in every piece of our handcrafted Buffalo Jerky. At Chalet Market, we've transformed this iconic symbol of the American West into two exceptional jerky varieties that capture both tradition and innovation – our classic Montana-Made Bison Jerky and our irresistible Buffalo Teriyaki Jerky.
Mark and I believe that creating authentic jerky is an art form that demands patience, respect for the meat, and an understanding of Montana's heritage. Both varieties begin with 100% North American bison, sourced from ranchers who share our commitment to ethical practices and superior quality. This isn't beef – bison offers a richer, slightly sweeter flavor profile with significantly more protein and less fat, making it the perfect foundation for premium jerky.
