Poultry plant: Montana’s first public chicken processing facility takes big step

It wasn’t the perfect weather for construction.

But the big, wet snowflakes falling from the sky didn’t deter a small group of men working to raise the walls last week on what will become the state’s first poultry processing facility open to the public.

The facility is a collaboration between two Bitterroot Valley farms with a vision to bring locally raised poultry to grocery stores, restaurants and farmers markets this summer.

It wouldn’t have been possible without the support of more than 80 people from the local community stepping up earlier this year to donate more than $22,000 in an Internet fundraising effort.
