Change your Food, Change the World!
We’re more than a non-profit; we’re a movement dedicated to strengthening community bonds through food. Acting as a catalyst, our goal is to empower youth, grow food and share knowledge, foster well-being, provide mentorship & job training, and bring people together through education, participation, and celebration. In a world where there is so much to disagree about, food is something we can all agree on, and it’s a place to start a new conversation.
Shop at our Self-Serve Farm Stand!
Open 24/7, our self-serve Farm Stand offers year-round access to a variety of fresh, local, and organic produce and value-added food products – from our farm and others around Montana. We also offer pickups for locally offered subscription-based products, such as Karst & Sons Sourdough Bread and Montana Sweet Beas Cold Brew Coffee. The Farm Stand is located in the “garage” at Homestead Organics Farm – 175 Skalkaho Hwy, Hamilton, MT 59840. We are open 24/7 and accept payments using cash, check, and venmo. The Farm Stand is self-serve so feel free to browse and purchase at your leisure!

What is your relationship with Homestead Organics Farm?
CCMT is an organizational non-profit that ‘rents’ our ‘Farm-Classroom’ from Homestead Organics Farm. You can think of Homestead Organics Farm as the ‘farm space’ that CCMT operates from. This partnership allows us to offer a range of programs, activities, and educational opportunities in an authentic farm setting.
What are your hours of operation?
We are open every day except Wednesdays from 10AM till dusk. You are welcome to explore the farm at your leisure during these hours. Our self-serve Farm Store is open all the time and features an exciting selection of Montana grown and made food products.
