Farm & Food Systems Fellowship

The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Moline, IL, cultivates a new generation of advocates and educators dedicated to transforming our food systems into equitable, sustainable ecosystems. Through hands-on training and support at the Allegheny Farm in Highland County, VA, Fellows engage in both organic food education and impactful community initiatives. This program eliminates tuition barriers to enhance accessibility, allowing participants to grow and distribute diverse, healthy crops, establish gardens, and introduce food and ecological literacy in local schools. Fellows participate in innovative healthcare workshops, support farmers markets, and collaborate with regional non-profits during their Community Action Year. By fostering partnerships and promoting food justice, the Fellowship empowers individuals to create meaningful change from farm to community, making nutritious food accessible to all.
