Why We Source Local: LPC’s Philosophy on Montana-Made Products

It Starts With the State We Live In

Montana isn’t just where LPC operates, it’s what we’re made of. Since Charlie Gaillard founded Lone Peak Cannabis Co. in 2010, the company’s identity has been tied to this land, these mountains, and the communities that call Montana home. That ethos shapes everything, including where we source our products.

When recreational cannabis became legal in Montana, the state built a framework that prioritizes in-state production. All cannabis sold in Montana dispensaries must be grown and processed here. But beyond legal requirements, LPC has made a deliberate choice to champion local brands that share our values, quality, transparency, and genuine connection to place.

What ‘Local’ Actually Means for Quality

Local sourcing isn’t just good for the economy, it’s good for the product. Montana growers are cultivating cannabis in a climate that demands attention and care. The state’s soil, altitude, and seasons create conditions that require skilled, adaptive farming. The producers we partner with, names like Groove Solventless, Collective Elevation, Soultonix and others, are Montana businesses built from the ground up by people who take their craft seriously.

Short supply chains also mean fresher product. Cannabis that travels thousands of miles loses terpenes and potency. Montana-made product reaches our shelves faster, handled fewer times, with less degradation.

The Community Multiplier

When you buy a Montana-made product at LPC, that money circulates in Montana. It pays the cultivator’s team in Missoula, the extraction technician in Bozeman, the packaging designer in Billings. Cannabis tax revenue in Montana funds public programs, conservation efforts, and infrastructure. The industry is young, but the economic and community impact is already significant, and growing.

How We Choose Our Partners

We don’t carry every Montana brand, we carry the ones that meet our standards. That means consistent quality, clean third-party lab results, responsible growing practices and brands that treat their employees and communities well. Our partner brands page is regularly updated as we discover new producers doing exceptional work across the state.

We also care about our environment and our customers, which is why we are committed to choosing regenerative cannabis agricultural products. Living Soil growing means growing without chemical fertilizers in a way that is sustainable, in fact healthy, for the soil. Benefits to our consumers (besides being free of fertilizer chemicals) are enhanced terpenes, richer cannabinoids and superior flavor. Learn more about our regenerative cannabis products here.

Next time you’re in an LPC location, ask your budtender about the story behind a product. Chances are there’s a Montana family or team behind it who would be glad to know you chose them.
