About CIVC:

CIVC is a small (but mighty) gluten-free grain processing and co-manufacturing facility located in Belgrade, MT, just outside Bozeman. We work with farmers in the Mountain West and High Plains region to process and sell their organic and regenerative oats, buckwheat, and millet to brands and consumers that value pure and delicious U.S. grown food.

CIVC's purpose is to build and nurture a community-based supply chain that treats farmers as valuable partners, supports the success of organic and regenerative brands, and provides the public delicious, pure food products with superior nutrition at prices they can afford.
