The Homestead Organics Farm campus is the 'Farm Classroom' for Cultivating Connections Montana. Homestead Organics Farm is REAL ORGANIC PROJECT certified, and certified organic by the Montana Dept. of Agriculture.
Cultivating Connections Montana is a non-profit that employs youth in agriculture, creates opportunity for authentic engagement, and aims to 'Build Community Through Food!'
Located 4 miles south of Hamilton on Skalkaho Highway, Homestead Organics Farm has 14 acres and is visible from Highway 93. We are open to the public! We welcome visitors and volunteers, and encourage our community to participate, see, and experience where their food comes from.
We say "Change Your Food, Change Your World!"
Our FarmStand is self-serve and features produce and value-added foods that we grow and produce as well as a wide array of Montana foods, crafts, produce, meats, eggs, honey, and whatever is fresh and delicious. Please stop to shop and support our programs and other Montana producers, too.
Our Youth Farm Interns learn about organic agriculture, whole Montana food cooking, and run our Darby Farmers' Market booth on Tuesdays from 10AM-2PM June-August and our Hamilton Farmers' Market booth on Saturdays 9-12:30 May-October.
The farm hosts monthly skill-building or knowledge-sharing workshops through our 'Heritage Skills Workshop Series'.
