MARKET
Our market features a variety of Montana-made goodies to elevate your culinary endeavors or give as gifts!
The Hopper Market makes it easy to take home a taste of Montana.
Roots Kitchen & Cannery in Livingston preserves Montana veggies so that they can be enjoyed year-round. Careful with the curried carrots, though – they’re addictive!
A world renowned, farmer-owned company, Timeless Natural Food boasts organic lentils, chickpeas and specialty grains that are easy to use and packed with protein and nutrients.
While Rivulet Apiaries Raw Montana Honey is simply delightful on its own, a drizzle sure can sweeten a dish or enrich a cup of hot tea. A perfect small gift!
ABOUT
Established April 2022, The Hopper Kitchen & Market specializes in scratch-made and locally-sourced fare. Our ever-evolving menu features familiar favorites, with a twist.
Owners Dan and Chelsi Bay drew on their Montana roots and years of hospitality experience to bring to life a longtime dream in a destination along Helena’s historic walking mall known for its tasteful offerings and lively atmosphere. We are humbled and inspired by the talents of our team, ranging from professional bakers and classic French-trained chefs to kitchen folk gaining knife skills for the first time.
The Hopper draws its name from Grasshopper Creek where gold was first discovered in Montana in 1862 and aims to celebrate the abundance of ingredients raised and crafted in Montana. Our laid-back space and diverse menu intend to have something for everyone.
