The Montana Food and Agricultural Development Center (FADC) Network

Montana Food and Agricultural Development Centers (FADC) help Montanans innovate and grow businesses that produce commercialized food in the diversified industry of agriculture, including food product makers and distributors. We also support renewable energy projects on agriculture land. These businesses are a mainstay in our local economy and create wealth and jobs in our communities. FADCs are located throughout Montana and operate as a statewide network to serve community-based businesses that form part of the foundation of the Montana economy.

FINAL FOOD DEVELOPMENT CENTER STUDY REPORT

“Just the level of professionalism and the resources available, I can’t say enough good about what that brings to a community. I don’t think I’ve seen any organization as hands-on as Prospera. It appears to be more of a calling than a job, and I think that’s pretty special.”
