We started this market in 2007 and have been growing every year!
We are a small, local market located in the parking lot of the Orchard Homes’ Country Life Club. Selling produce has been part of the Country Life Club’s history for 100 years! We are proud to continue the legacy.
We offer produce, crafts, jams and jellies, baked goods, jewelry, flowers and other items. All the produce at the market comes from within Orchard Homes and travels less than a mile to get to market! Now, THAT is fresh!
If you want to get to know your farmer, this is a great market to do that! There is a great community between all the vendors and we LOVE our customers.
Come and be a part of 100 years of agricultural history in Orchard Homes this summer!

Footloose: Moving in from Chicago, newcomer Ren McCormack (Kevin Bacon) is in shock when he discovers the small Midwestern town he now calls home has made dancing and rock music illegal. As he struggles to fit in, Ren faces an uphill battle to change things. With the help of his new friend, Willard Hewitt (Christopher Penn), and defiant teen Ariel Moore (Lori Singer), he might loosen up this conservative town. But Ariel’s influential father, Reverend Shaw Moore (John Lithgow), stands in the way.
The safety of the Missoula community is our utmost priority. A full COVID-19 Readiness Plan has been created by the Missoula PaddleHeads for operating the venue cautiously, safely, and responsibly, and can be found at www.gopaddleheads.com .

About the film: Sometimes it comes in the form of a photograph, a chance encounter on a chairlift, or a glimpse at a mountain never seen before. When combined with motivation, the spark of inspiration becomes a dream, and when pursued gives our lives a new purpose.
For 25 years Teton Gravity Research has focused on turning “Make Believe” into reality, from exploring powder stashes in our backyard playground to first descents on unnamed peaks, the ethos of “live the dream” has defined our adventures.
“MAKE BELIEVE” celebrates today’s athletes who have committed to this ethos, the ones who have fallen deeply in love with the mountain life, the people who have chosen to live their lives in a particular way, from inception to reality, the ones who choose to make and believe in their dreams.

Bad Movies at The Badlander
The Badlander
208 Ryman St., Missoula, Montana
This Friday! Bad Movies at The Badlander presents some unconventional psychological horror:
6:30pm – Event Horizon (1997) Sam Neill and Laurence Fishburne star in this haunting sci-fi classic about a rescue crew investigating a spaceship that disappeared into a black hole and has now returned…with someone or something new on-board. Is the black hole really just a portal to hell? I don’t know, but I do know it’s directed Paul W.S. Anderson and that you’re already thinking of two other different directors.
9:30pm – Don’t Look Now (1973) A married couple grieving the recent death of their young daughter are in Venice when they encounter two elderly sisters, one of whom is psychic and brings a warning from beyond. Donald Sutherland gives a magnificent performance in this tense thriller. This movie has two things: The scariest ending I’ve ever seen, and a sex scene which is 20 minutes too long.
Seating is spaced for social distancing and limited. Masks are required for entry. Time between movies will be filled with Mario Kart 64 or Scooby Doo episodes.
21+|FREE
Enter through Locals on West Broadway.
