Good morning, Helena.

Helena-based Mid Valley Farm owners Jorae and John Miedtke will open a new farmstand in early August (adding extra access to produce beyond the Helena Farmers Market) to let locals taste fresh food and learn where it comes from.

The Museum of Forest Service History recently opened its $18.5M National Conservation Legacy Center off I-90 between Glacier and Yellowstone.

Board president Andy Mason said the center is designed to attract national visitors to the region.

Local health officials advise residents that despite the FDA investigating a cyclospora outbreak linked to shredded lettuce in the Northeast, there are no recalls in Helena and safe food handling remains a priority.

The microscopic parasite can cause watery diarrhea plus other symptoms, so residents are urged to wash produce thoroughly.
