Nate Powell-Palm founded Cold Springs Organics as a Junior at Bozeman High School. A native Montanan, Nate got his start in farming through Gallatin County 4-H with a steer project in 2001 that led to what is today a 800+ acre certified organic grain, cattle and flour milling operation. A relentless advocate for agriculture and rural prosperity, Nate was appointed to the National Organic Standards Board by Secretary Sonny Perdue in 2019. That same year he testified before the US House of Representatives on the economic benefits organic farming has on rural communities. When not on the tractor or advocating for better farm policies, Nate, along with his whole team are working to expand their flour milling and animal feed production operation located outside of Belgrade, MT.
