Farm & Food Systems Fellowship

The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Newburgh, IN, is dedicated to empowering the next generation of food advocates and educators focused on creating a just food system that is socially, environmentally, and economically sustainable. With a commitment to accessibility, this fellowship offers a tuition-free program featuring comprehensive organic food system education. Over the course of six months, Fellows engage in hands-on training at the Allegheny Farm, learning to grow and distribute diversified crops, implement innovative health education, and maintain community gardens that enhance ecological literacy. The program further enables Fellows to support farmers markets and develop channels for increasing access to healthy food. Following their training, participants undertake a Community Action Year, applying their knowledge in collaboration with local non-profit organizations to effect meaningful change. Applications are accepted until March for the fellowship that typically runs from May to October.
