ALL ABOARD THE HARVEST TRAIN on the Charlie Russell Chew Choo! 

October 2nd , 2026 | Boarding at 2:30 PM | Departure at 3:30 PM
A Farm-to-Table Dining Experience Unlike Anything Else in Montana

Step aboard the Charlie Russell Chew Choo for an experience that celebrates the heart and soul of Fergus County — the people, the land, and the incredible food it produces.

The Harvest Train is a fully immersive, one-of-a-kind agricultural adventure that takes you deep into the world of Montana farming and ranching — all from the comfort of a vintage 1950's train rolling through some of the most breathtaking scenery in the American West.

The Experience Begins Before You Even Board
From the moment you arrive in the parking lot, the adventure starts. Touch and feel real grains grown right here in Fergus County. Get up close with livestock and learn firsthand how they are raised. Hear directly from the people who care for this land — how they nurture it, protect it, and rejuvenate it season after season so it continues to feed families for generations to come. This is Montana farming and ranching at its most authentic, and it begins the second you step out of your car.

Your Own Personal Harvest Ambassador
Every car on the Harvest Train will have a dedicated Harvest Ambassador — a knowledgeable, passionate guide who will narrate your entire journey from departure to arrival. They'll walk you through everything you see out the window, explain every single item on your plate, and answer any questions you have along the way. Think of them as your personal storyteller for the evening — connecting every bite of food to the land, the farmers, and the ranchers who made it possible.

Farm-to-Table Like You've Never Experienced It
Every bite and every sip on the Harvest Train is sourced directly from Fergus County farms and ranches. We're talking fresh, locally grown and raised ingredients prepared into an unforgettable meal that tells the story of the land right outside your window. And yes — that includes locally crafted hops and beers brewed right here on Montana soil. Because out here, even the drinks have a story.

Why You Don't Want to Miss This
There is nowhere else in the world where you can get up close with Montana livestock, touch the grains that built this region, watch the sweeping harvest fields roll by from a vintage train window, and enjoy a meal made entirely from ingredients grown and raised within miles of where you're sitting — all while a Harvest Ambassador brings every detail to life. This is Fergus County at its finest — raw, authentic, delicious, and completely unforgettable.
