Farm & Food Systems Fellowship

The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Coldwater, MI, is dedicated to nurturing future leaders in sustainable food systems by providing hands-on education and training. This unique program empowers fellows to advocate for a food system that is socially, environmentally, and economically just. Over six months, participants immerse themselves in a comprehensive, residential learning experience at Allegheny Farm, where they engage in organic farming practices and develop essential skills to foster community food initiatives. In collaboration with regional non-profit organizations, fellows work on growing and distributing diverse crops, implementing health-focused educational sessions, maintaining community gardens, and enhancing food literacy in schools. This fellowship is committed to accessibility, offering tuition-free education to promote equal opportunity for all aspiring advocates of sustainable food practices. Interested applicants should complete the application by March, with the program running from May to October each year.
