"It feels like the right time”: Heather Grenier to leave HRDC after nearly a decade as CEO

BOZEMAN, MONT. — Heather Grenier has announced she is stepping aside as president and CEO of HRDC after more than a decade leading the nonprofit, with a leadership change set for January 1. Grenier started with the organization in 2000 and went on to help lead several well-known Gallatin Valley projects, including Fork and Spoon and Homeward Point. She has also worked with the organization to provide more than 800 new homes to the region. She said the decision came as she looked for a new chapter after years with the nonprofit. "I always have wanted to make sure that I wasn't the leader who stayed too long, and that sometimes the best thing a leader can do is get out of the way; and you know, it feels like it's the right time," Grenier said. Grenier said she had been thinking about succession planning for years and was now ready to move ahead with it. "Jeff Rupp, our former CEO, you know, told me, 'From day one, start planning your succession,'" Grenier said. "And I took that to heart, and this is probably my third succession plan, but it's the one that is sticking, you know, and ready to

Bozeman farmland deal protects 150 acres for agriculture

BOZEMAN, Mont. — A conservation easement in the Bozeman area is permanently protecting 150 acres used by Amaltheia Organic Dairy for farming and goat grazing. The project brought together Amaltheia Organic Dairy, the Gallatin Valley Land Trust, Dirt Capital Partners and the Natural Resource Conservation Service. The section of land had been leased from neighboring property owners since 2004, before it went up for sale in 2021. The Brown family started the farm in 2000 and expanded it over time. Nate Brown said the dairy now milks around 200 goats and produces around 45,000 pounds of goat cheese annually. Besides that, they also produce vegetables. Amaltheia is certified organic. "It's just a great time to be able to celebrate, openly and publicly, an amazing achievement by a local family that cares a lot about our community and agriculture," said Chet Work, executive director of the Gallatin Valley Land Trust. The family wanted to purchase the land, but with rising property values needed some support. So, they worked with Dirt Capital Partners to buy the land, and then worked with the Gallatin Valley Land Trust to place it into a trust. The conservation easement means the land must stay in agricultural
