Careers
Coastal Foodshed is a nonprofit local food hub rooted in the Southcoast of Massachusetts. We connect dozens of local farm partners with customers, institutions, and communities across the Southcoast who want access to fresh, locally grown food. We source and sell local food on a year-round basis through our retail store where you can shop in person or online, through food access markets, and through food relief and farm to institution markets.
Our team is small, the work is hands-on, and the connections we build between local farms and local tables are real and lasting. If you are looking to help build a stronger, more resilient, and more equitable local food system, and want to be part of something growing, we would like to hear from you.
