Farm & Food Systems Fellowship

The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Boonville, MO, is dedicated to fostering a food system that is just, sustainable, and community-focused. Sponsored by the Allegheny Mountain Institute, this fellowship offers an immersive six-month experience at the Allegheny Farm Campus, where selected Fellows receive hands-on training in organic food systems without any tuition fees to ensure accessibility. Through this program, participants engage in initiatives such as growing and distributing diverse crops, facilitating health-related educational sessions, maintaining community and school gardens, and promoting food literacy. Additionally, the fellowship includes a Community Action Year, allowing Fellows to collaborate with regional non-profit organizations to enhance community food access, support farmer's markets, and mentor future cohorts. Application deadlines are set for March, with the program typically running from May through October.
