We love our Swanky Roots and always prefer their lettuce, but through these last few months, we have supported them how we can while they work through their production issues. Once production returns to rates that can support wholesale purchasing, we will be return to offering their amazing produce on our menu.
We love our local growers and suppliers and choose to shop local as often as possible. We hope you will join us in being kind and patient with our amazing, hardworking local businesses. They make Billings a vibrant community. We are lucky to share this space with them.

The past three months have been the hardest months we have had to go through as a company. We had our lettuce growth and production come to an almost complete stop.

We are so grateful for those who have been supporting us in this time! We have fought our way through and we are finally seeing some light at the end of this tunnel.
We understand that our changing hours and limited products over the past months have been hard and confusing for our customers - trust us, they have not been easy on us either. HOWEVER. We are doing our best to keep our website, google listing, yelp listing, facebook, answering machines, etc...up to date with our hours and products. So PLEASE don't get mad at us if you drive out here without checking first and we are closed.
We limited our hours because we were selling out of the little product we did have every day. We didn't want people driving out here for no lettuce. (Shoutout to our amazing customers who can't get enough of what we have been growing! )
I know for every 1 rude customer, we have 50 + amazing customers. At the end of the day, those rude customers really stick in our minds. We are working our butts off here and we really want to serve our community the best we can.
In a world full of uncertainties the easiest thing we can do is to be kind to one another. It seems like it should go without saying but please remember it costs nothing to be kind.
We are excited to see things growing in the right direction in the greenhouse. Please be patience with us a little while longer and before you know it we will have full shelves of lettuce again! Please don't hesitate to call or you can always sign up for our text messages or email list to stay up to date.
