Montana Advocacy

Growing up on a barley farm on the Greenfield Bench, our Founder and CEO, Melissa Shannon, was deeply instilled with the values of hard work, the importance of community, and being there for your neighbors. These principles continue to drive her today and are embodied in our company’s name and logo, which reflect her roots in the barley fields and the picturesque views of the Rocky Mountain Front leading to the Benchmark trail.
