Ballantine
Ballantine is a small farming hamlet in the Huntley Project of eastern Yellowstone County, Montana between Huntley and Worden on the Yellowstone River, built on irrigated sugar beets, barley, and row crops. Its life centers on the surrounding farms, the families who work them, and the few local businesses serving the area. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms (custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing) for Ballantine's farms and local businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania. Distance is no barrier, and we add on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
