Like many of us, I wasn't able to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with my family and loved ones. Instead of getting down in the dumps, I decided to make the day special. A few restaurants were serving dinner, but I didn't feel like going out to eat by myself. I decided to support local businesses and purchase items to make a quality dinner at home.

These Amazing Montana Businesses Made My Thanksgiving Feast Possible

I'm thankful for the local businesses that made my Thanksgiving dinner possible, and I wanted to give them a shoutout for making my holiday celebration the best it could be despite not being able to spend it with my family. I purchased a turkey, stuffing, and bread from local businesses in the Bozeman area, and I was pleasantly surprised with how well my dinner turned out.

First, I want to thank Yellow House Barbecue for a delicious smoked Hutterite turkey and gravy. If you love Texas-inspired barbecue, Yellow House is a must-visit! I went to Lone Peak Provisions and purchased apple & sausage stuffing, which was some of the best I've ever had.

Last, but not least, I stopped by Wild Crumb and picked up a couple baguettes, which were perfect for post-Thanksgiving turkey sandwiches. Without these awesome local businesses, my Thanksgiving wouldn't have been possible.

 

Supporting local businesses is always important, but even more so during the holidays. So, from the bottom of my heart, I want to say thank you to small business owners in Montana for making the holiday season so magical.
