Farm & Food Systems Fellowship

The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Saint Clair, MO, empowers aspiring advocates and educators to champion a food system that is just and sustainable. Through hands-on training and mentorship, our Fellows engage in vital learning experiences at our organic farm, where they acquire knowledge on diversified crop production and community food initiatives. This program emphasizes the importance of access to healthy foods by supporting farmers markets, community gardens, and educational outreach in schools, all aimed at promoting food and ecological literacy. With no tuition fees, we ensure that this vital educational opportunity is accessible to all. Over six months, chosen Fellows participate in immersive training, followed by a Community Action Year that allows them to collaborate with local non-profits, making a tangible difference in their communities. Applications are accepted until March, with the fellowship running from May to October each year, focusing on building a fairer food system together.
