The Fourth Dinner in the 2025 Farm Dinner Series: Shields Valley Ranchers
Chef Em met Eric and Juliana during her very first season at the Bozeman Winter Market—an experience that not only introduced her to some of Montana’s most passionate food producers, but also sparked the idea for this very Farm Dinner Series. It was there, among the booths and fresh goods, that she began dreaming of a way to connect more deeply with her ingredients and the incredible people behind them.
Now, we’re thrilled to welcome Shields Valley Ranchers to the series for the first time!
Eric and Juliana are part of a collective of independent, multigenerational ranching families based in the heart of Montana’s Shields Valley. Together, they’re committed to raising high-quality beef with integrity, transparency, and care. Grounded in strong values of land stewardship, animal welfare, and community resilience, these ranchers are redefining what it means to produce food with purpose.
With deep roots and a forward-thinking vision, Shields Valley Ranchers offers a meaningful alternative for those who care about where their food comes from—and how it’s raised.
Join us for an evening of exceptional beef, warm conversation, and the kind of company that makes you feel right at home.
