Food-hub listing photographs

Partner logos belong to their respective organizations; the sample-image licenses below do not apply to them or to participant photographs.

Photographs on the reviewed recipes

The six source-reviewed recipes in the kitchen carry an illustrative photograph of the dish or its ingredients from a public domain or free-licence source. None shows a Montana kitchen, a participant, or the result of cooking the recipe here, and none was taken from the recipe handouts. Each entry links the exact original and names what was changed. Hopa Mountain can replace any of them with a photograph of its own.

The ten Hopa Mountain Family Meal Kit recipes (by Mariah Gladstone with Indigikitchen, and Hopa Mountain) use illustrative stock photographs from Pexels. They are not photographs of the exact recipe results, meal kits, families or Montana producers. Ingredients and toppings may differ from the recipe. Their individual credits follow below.
