Farm & Food Systems Fellowship

The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Boonville, IN, is dedicated to empowering individuals to champion a just food system through comprehensive education and hands-on experience. This innovative program provides tuition-free training aimed at fostering social, environmental, and economic equity in food systems. Fellows engage in a six-month immersive experience at the Allegheny Farm, where they gain vital skills in organic food production, ecological literacy, and community engagement. Participants collaborate with local partners to grow and distribute a variety of crops, implement educational initiatives, establish community gardens, and support farmers markets. Following their fellowship, they participate in a Community Action Year, applying their knowledge with regional non-profits to enhance access to healthy foods and mentor future advocates. Applications are accepted until March, with the fellowship running from May to October.
