Gov. Greg Gianforte stopped in Plains last week to meet with one of Sanders County's small businesses.

Stopping by Wild Horse Lavender in Plains, the governor met with owners Carissa and Bruce McNamara to tour their family farm and hear about their transition to growing lavender and selling lavender products.

Transitioning their production from alfalfa and cattle to lavender, the McNamaras now grow five varietals of lavender for medicinal, aesthetic, and culinary purposes in their over 27 value-added products.
