Farm & Food Systems Fellowship

The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Frankfort, IN, empowers passionate individuals to become advocates and educators for a just and sustainable food system. Sponsored by the Allegheny Mountain Institute, this program offers invaluable training in organic food systems without any tuition fees, ensuring accessibility for all who aspire to make an impact. Fellows engage in hands-on learning at Allegheny Farm, where they cultivate diverse crops, lead educational initiatives in health care, and enhance food literacy within schools and communities. This immersive six-month experience culminates in a Community Action Year, where they collaborate with local non-profits to further their mission of improving community access to healthy foods and supporting local food initiatives. Ideal candidates are encouraged to complete their applications by March, with the program running from May to October.
