F IS FOR “FOODIE,” A PERSON WITH A PARTICULAR INTEREST IN FOOD. Someone who’s always up for trying new places and has a refined but adventurous palate.

And this month at Billings Lifestyle, we’re all about feasting with foodies as we just scratch the surface of all the fine eats and drinks Billings has to offer.

The dog days of summer brought us ice cream, refreshing salads and cocktails enjoyed by the pool as we celebrated the Fourth of July, vacations and abundant sunshine.

But the autumnal days of October bring us chili cooking on the stove, seasonal fruits and veggies and pumpkin spice, well, pretty much everything, as we celebrate football season, some warm-weather relief and shorter days moving toward the end of the year.

Fresh and fruity, lively on the palate, with a delicate mousse and appealing finish, Montmartre Brut makes a fine aperitif and accompanies a variety of light dishes.”

“This desirable appellation wine hails from several well-farmed vineyards, including the producer’s hillside Wildcat Mountain site in the Petaluma Gap. Apple blossom aromas lead to a taut body of ripe, balanced fruit—an exploration of pineapple and mango that’s food-friendly, with high-toned acidity. The finish is clean, refreshing and quickly invites another taste.” *Critical acclaim 90 points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

E. GUIGAL 2015 CONDRIEU,* $79.95 “The Condrieu terroir, on the right bank of the Rhône, is famous for its white wines and is the northernmost white wine appellation in the Rhône Valley. Brilliant clear and golden yellow in the glass on the nose, Condrieu is intensely flowery (violets), with apricot, peaches and citrus. The palate is fresh and round. Rich, unctuous and full-bodied. Overall, harmonious with light acidity and round, fleshy fruits. Delicate and elegant.” *Critical acclaim 95 points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

A well-balanced wine with a long finish.” *Critical acclaim 88 points, Wine Spectator

VIGNOBLES BRUNIER, LE PIGEOULET, VAUCLUSE 2016, $19.95 “The Brunier family have long been synonymous with the highest standard of quality in Vaucluse and Southern Rhone. A wonderful, spicy, smooth and full-of-character Rhône blend from a lesser known area of Southern France. Dark in the glass with dark berries, black plums, and black pepper on the nose. On the palate, Le Pigeoulet expresses notes of dark plums, sweet spice and black pepper.”

THE PARING RED 2013,* $28.95 “This cabernet-inspired blend shows the sanguine, focused fruit and shapely tannins that we’ve come to expect from the sandy soils and slightly cooler mesoclimate of these outstanding vineyard sites. Classic aromas of cedar and cassis. Pure expression of black and red fruit with lovely herbal notes of sincere cabernet sauvignon. A plush texture combined with a rigid backbone of tannin structure make this wine a truly memorable drinking experience.” *Critical acclaim 90 Antonio Galloni - Vinous

ROAD TRIP

(CON TI N U ED)

NESTLED BETWEEN THE TOWNS OF BRIDGER AND BELFRY, ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF RED LODGE, YOU WILL FIND BOJA FARM. Spanning over 60 acres, the land was purchased in September 1995 by Bonnie Martinell and her husband, Jack. The Martinells built their home in 1996 and began planting the orchard in spring of 1997. The pair have transformed the original bare ground into a thriving farm with a unique mission: they are 100 percent chemical-free.

“I always wanted to have an orchard and planted the first orchard with strictly the idea of personal use,” Bonnie says. “We planted 200 fruit trees, 1,200 raspberry plants and 2,500 strawberry plants that first year.”

Growing up on a large cattle ranch in Whitehall, Montana, Bonnie had experience tending to a large garden. She also earned a bachelor’s degree in agricultural science from Montana State University. Since the original orchard, they have planted two more.

For the Martinells, their mission to be totally chemical-free is what sets them apart from other farms.

“I don’t know of any other produce farm or orchard in the state that is totally chemical-free,” Bonnie says.

There are three main reasons behind her decision to eliminate chemicals. One, you are protecting the plants and the environment. Two, the overall flavor of the product is enhanced. Three, economics.

“It is very costly to use chemicals that actually deter the growth of the plant or tree,” she explains. “If you have a very healthy soil, you really don’t need to use any kind of chemical and manage to keep your orchard clean.”

Boja Farm is unique in other ways, as well.

“There is not another orchard like this within 500 miles that has apples, pears, peaches, apricots, cherries, plums and grapes,” Bonnie says.

She relishes the peaceful, quiet environment of their farm which allows them to produce such an abundance of quality foods.

For those eager to try Boja Farm’s produce, you have numerous options. Their goods can be found at the Beartooth Market in Red Lodge and Quality Foods in Bozeman. A number of local restaurants in Bozeman, Red Lodge, Billings and northern Wyoming utilize produce from Boja Farm. Patrons can also visit the farm to purchase produce directly. There is even a delivery service for large orders in towns that already receive deliveries.

Through dedication and decades of hard work, Bonnie and Jack Martinell have cultivated a haven for quality produce and earth-conscious farming. Whether you decide to make the trip to visit Boja or purchase their products from a local retailer, the food will speak for itself.

“I DON’T KNOW OF ANY OTHER PRODUCE FARM OR ORCHARD IN THE STATE THAT IS TOTALLY CHEMICAL-FREE,” BONNIE SAYS. 16

IN ORDER TO RUN A SUCCESSFUL KITCHEN, HEAD CHEFS MUST COMMIT THEMSELVES TO LONG HOURS AND A SOMETIMES HECTIC ENVIRONMENT. Their life is dedicated to food: creating, cooking, catering to others.

But, what about when it is their turn to indulge? Where do these culinary masters go to treat themselves? Head Chefs from three of the areas best restaurants divulge their favorite places to eat (other than their own restaurant, of course) when the opportunity arises.

NICK STEEN CHEF AND GENERAL MANAGER AT WALKERS

WHAT APPEALED TO YOU ABOUT WALKERS? I have been with Walkers about a year and a half. What drew me here was having an opportunity to connect with my food on a closer level, as well as run a singular restaurant. Walkers has been one of the best in the game for the last 25 years, so the chance to be a part of something that special certainly has its allure. I know many of the previous chefs and it was an honor to carry on what they helped create over the years. But most of all, I wanted to have the creative freedom that comes with running your own restaurant.

FAVORITE LOCAL EATERY, OTHER THAN YOUR OWN? Red Lodge is going through a food renaissance right now. One place I love is the Ox Pasture because it changes concepts every two years so it keeps things interesting. At the moment, they are a pop-up Sicilian restaurant out of New York City. Ox Pasture utilizes locally grown ingredients and features a friendly atmosphere on Red Lodge's Main Street.

WHAT DO YOU ORDER? I order the octopus salad and one of the many amazing pastas!
