Join the New Growth Team and Support Local Farmers

Two New Growth Job Openings for Supporting Farmers and Rural Entrepreneurs

New Growth is looking for two passionate, community-minded individuals to join our team! Both positions offer the chance to make a real impact in rural Missouri while enjoying a four-day work week and great benefits.

👩🌾 Farm Outreach Coordinator

Do you have a heart for helping beginning farmers succeed? The Farm Outreach Coordinator will lead programs and outreach to connect with under served agricultural producers in West Central Missouri. This role manages the Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development project and co-chairs New Growth’s annual Farm to Fork Summit, a major regional event celebrating local food, farm innovation, and community connections.

The ideal candidate will enjoy working directly with farmers and partners to build relationships, organize educational opportunities, and strengthen our region’s local food systems.

🚜 Farm Business Counselor

The Farm Business Counselor will work alongside the Heartland Food Business Coalition to help farm and food entrepreneurs start and grow their businesses. This role includes one-on-one business counseling, client outreach, and program coordination—all with a focus on helping small business owners access the knowledge and resources they need to thrive.

As co-chair of the Farm to Fork Summit organizing committee, this position also plays a key part in shaping the future of food and farm business development across the Heartland region.

🌱 Why Work at New Growth?

At New Growth, we believe in empowering rural communities by supporting local businesses, farmers, and entrepreneurs. Our team works collaboratively across programs to strengthen local economies and build resilient food systems.

If you’re ready to make a difference and join a supportive team, we’d love to hear from you!
