Community agriculture assistant

🌱 Farm to School: Help elementary students connect with their food and where it comes from. You’ll be part of a tight-knit team leading hands-on lessons in school gardens, guiding field trips where kids literally eat their way across the farm, and assisting with summer camps. Expect plenty of digging, planting, and teaching—this is learning by doing at its best!

🚛 Mobile Market: Think of it as a pop-up farmers' market on wheels! You’ll bring fresh, local produce straight to seniors in affordable housing, giving folks who are often home-bound a direct connection to their food and the farmers who grow it. It’s meaningful, rewarding, and a great way to build community.

Join us as we grow with thousands of children and seniors in Missoula, Montana!
