I am Marie Antoinette McGruder the granddaughter of Marvin McGruder and the great granddaughter of Charles McGruder Jr. He is the original owner of McGruder Land acquired after being freed from slavery as a result of the Emancipation Proclamation of 1862. Starting business ventures and materializing a vision is in my DNA. I have always pursued my dreams and my passions as they have evolved over my lifetime. One of my biggest dreams from the age of eight has been to farm on the land that has been in my family for nearly 160 years. Today I own 10 acres and control more than 74 acres of farmable land and my vision is to develop an infrastructure to grow and market highly desirable nutritious non chemically grown non-GMO produce and other edibles right here on our McGruder family land.

Montana Gluten Free is proud to be Gluten Free from Farm to Fork. What does that mean? Well, it is a short and sweet way of saying that we grow, mill, package and market healthy, gluten free food in carefully monitored fields, with dedicated equipment, and in our certified facility. We care for it from the time the seeds are planted until our products are shipped to your door. This way we can guarantee a high quality, gluten free product that is not only good for you, but also delicious.
Oats are naturally gluten free and have the highest amount of protein and lowest glycemic index of all cereal grains. We selected PrOatina, our private oat variety, for its high protein, height, and hulless qualities. Unlike so many gluten free products on the market that are lacking protein and fiber, our products are as good for you as they are tasty.
Our products test less than 3ppm gluten — well below the FDA standard of 20ppm and the CSA (Celiac Support Association) standard of 5ppm required to be considered gluten free. We are able to meet this exceptional standard by strictly adhering to our quality control policies.
Our oats are only grown in fields that have not contained gluten grains for four years, then each field is walked and hand-rouged twice — once by the farmer and again by a Montana Gluten Free representative. At the end of the growing season, we use dedicated gluten free farm equipment to harvest and transport the oats to our certified gluten free facility where they are milled, packaged, and stored. Our manufacturing facility is certified by CSA and GIG. Our products test null on both ELISA G12 and R5 tests when tested in-house and in third party analysis by Romer Labs.
Montana Gluten Free has been NCA (formally CSA) certified since 2004 and GIG certified since 2007. We are Kosher, and our products contain no GMO.
Our facility is free of the top 8 allergens plus corn. Which means that our products do not contain wheat, eggs, dairy, soy, tree nuts, peanuts, fish, shellfish or corn.
Montana Gluten Free products DO NOT use any oats that have been sprayed with any form of glyphosate. Montana Gluten Free oats are a unique variety, grown under direct grower contract, not purchased on the open market. We control every part of the production of our oats from seeding to packaging, following our “Gluten Free Oat Purity Protocol,” and require farmers use land with proper crop rotation practices as well as fertility, cultural practices, and product quality. We test every lot for glyphosate residue, both in house and with an outside lab. Montana Gluten Free will continue our commitment to provide high quality, safe products for our customers.
