For most, Montana is known as cowboy country.

We are home to tons of ranches and rodeos, heck, almost every show dealing with Montana has some sort of "cowboy theme". Of course, over the last few years, Montana has become a place with the rich and famous come to get away from it all, with many owning a second, or third home here.

10 Montana Grocery Items That Could Be In Short Supply In 2023.

The last couple of years has been rough for a lot of Montanans as the supply chain was disrupted over the whole pandemic. Of course, we're now a few years removed, and yet certain items are still hard to come by.
