Farm & Food Systems Fellowship

The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship, located in Wabash, IN, is dedicated to training and empowering individuals to advocate for a just food system that values social, environmental, and economic sustainability. This transformative fellowship provides comprehensive organic food system education without charging tuition, ensuring accessibility for all aspiring leaders in the field. Over the six-month residential program at the Allegheny Farm Campus, Fellows engage in hands-on learning experiences, from growing and distributing diversified crops on a market-style farm to implementing educational sessions in innovative health care. They also have opportunities to maintain school or community gardens, integrate food and ecological literacy into educational settings, and support local farmers markets and community food initiatives. Following this immersive training, Fellows enter a Community Action Year, where they apply their newfound skills in collaboration with regional non-profit organizations. Applications are accepted until March each year, with the fellowship experience typically spanning from May to October.
