As one of 12 Regional Food Business Centers funded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), this Regional Food Business Center will develop a grant program and a regional network of dedicated technical assistance providers committed to fostering the sustainable success of farm and food enterprises, with a focus on historically marginalized farmers and food business entrepreneurs. 

To support the Great Lakes Midwest Regional Food Business Center, CRFS will hire additional positions in fall 2024. These positions will add needed person-power and skills to build its capacity to connect available resources to food and farm business entrepreneurs. Both positions are remote-friendly, unless otherwise noted in the full position description.
