Jane Kile was a pioneer in Montana’s organic farming and community supported agriculture movements and funding for the Jane Kile Memorial Fund has been provided by generous donors, including a multi-year gift from the Montana Land Reliance.

The Jane Kile Memorial Fund recently awarded scholarships to ten deserving participants in the Montana Seed School - facilitated by Native
Seeds/Search with help from the Mission Mountain Food Enterprise Center. We hope the recipients enjoy participating in the Montana SeedSchool, and value your efforts in helping to build resilient seed-saving communities!
