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!
Our self-serve Farm Stand offers year-round access to a variety of fresh, local, and organic produce (from our farm and others around Montana) and value-added food products made by our Youth Interns and Volunteers in our Commercial Kitchen. We also offer pickups for locally offered subscription-based products, such as Karst & Sons Sourdough Bread and Montana Sweet Beas Cold Brew Coffee.
Our Farm Stand is located at Homestead Organics Farm – 175 Skalkaho Hwy, Hamilton, MT 59840. We are open 9am - 9pm everyday and accept payments using cash, check, and Venmo.
