Farm & Food Systems Fellowship

The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Perryville, MO, is dedicated to nurturing and empowering future advocates for a fair and sustainable food system. This immersive program provides a six-month, hands-on education in organic farming, community gardening, and food literacy at the Allegheny Farm Campus, free of tuition to ensure accessibility for all. Fellows engage with local non-profit organizations during a Community Action Year, applying their knowledge while promoting food assistance initiatives, supporting farmers markets, and developing strategies for enhanced access to healthy foods. This transformative experience fosters a collaborative spirit, equipping participants to implement innovative solutions for a socially, environmentally, and economically just food system, while mentoring the next generation of food leaders.
