ARE YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT FOOD?

JOIN OUR TEAM

Convivium Urban Farmstead is a non-profit organization that was founded on the idea that many of our world’s problems stem from a lack of connection – to ourselves, our community and our environment. At Convivium, we hope to foster this connection, or reconnection to those areas of our life and we use food to do it. ​

Simply stated, people matter to us! Especially our employees. See below for current job openings at Convivium if you are interested in joining a passionate and innovative team of people working to improve life through food.
