Grow With Us: Join the Seed to Table Board of Directors

At Seed to Table, we believe that everyone deserves access to fresh, healthy food and the chance to learn with their hands in the soil. Over the past decade, our community has grown an educational farm that now nourishes thousands of people each week through fresh produce, school programs, and the Sisters Farmers Market. None of this happens without the steady care of our Board of Directors — a group of neighbors and leaders who help guide and sustain this work.

We are now inviting new Board members to join us in this next season of growth.

Who We’re Looking For

We welcome people from all backgrounds and life experiences. Some of our board members bring professional expertise; others bring the wisdom of lived experience and deep community connection. All share a commitment to equity, collaboration, and building a healthier Central Oregon.

This year, we are especially seeking individuals with:

• Financial management experience — such as budgeting, planning, or guiding organizational resources – to support our already strong fiscal stewardship.

• Fundraising and relationship-building skills — whether that looks like donor cultivation, community partnerships, or creative resource development — to help ensure our programs thrive for years to come.

What It Means to Serve

As a Board member, you’ll be both a steward and a collaborator. Our board partners alongside the Executive Director, staff, neighbors, partners, and patrons to nurture the land, community, and connections that sustain us. Together we, 

• Steward fiduciary responsibilities — ensuring financial integrity, legal compliance, and alignment with our mission and values.

• Partner with the Executive Director in resource development by building relationships, engaging in fundraising efforts, and making the ask when necessary.

• Reflect our culture of care in asking thoughtful/curious questions and listening with care.

• Hold space for equity-centered learning and growth at every level of our work.

• Volunteer alongside staff and neighbors to bring Seed to Table’s mission to life.

Board members typically commit to:

• 11 meetings per year plus our annual retreat

• About 10–15 hours per month of committee work, volunteering, or community engagement. 

• Contributing in ways that fit your strengths and capacity — knowing board members give differently and all contributions matter.

Why Join?

Serving on the Seed to Table Board is about more than governance — it’s about being part of a community that believes in the power of fresh food, hands-on education, and neighbors taking care of one another. You’ll join a group that balances hard work with joy, and strategy with compassion.

If you’re ready to dig in and help grow healthy communities from the ground up, we would love to hear from you. Please complete this application by Monday, November 10th.
