If you are interested in the position and enthusiastic, but do not meet all of the qualifications, we would love you to apply!
Land to Hand MT is a non-profit, community organization founded by families, farmers, community leaders & eaters from around the Flathead Valley. The mission of Land to Hand Montana is to build a strong community food system that fosters socially just ways of accessing food.
Our work is focused on EDUCATION and ACCESS. To us, access to healthy, local food is vital for all members of our community. Food security means access by all people at all times to enough food for a healthy life. At a minimum, this includes the ready availability of nutritionally adequate food and the assured ability to acquire personally acceptable foods in a socially acceptable way. Many people struggle to prioritize healthy, adequate food on a tight budget. Our Food for All programs help alleviate that stress of affording healthy, local food and give community members the opportunity to control their food choices.
For us, education is a way of ensuring that all people in our community know how to grow, cook, and enjoy food. Education can be empowering and we want to ensure that our community has access to the knowledge and resources to live resilient lives. Our education programs encourage all kids and adults to be a part of growing the next generation of cooks, gardeners, farmers, ranchers, seed savers, and eaters.
