The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Kannapolis, NC, is dedicated to fostering a just and sustainable food system through comprehensive training and mentorship. This transformative program empowers selected Fellows to become advocates and educators, promoting social, environmental, and economic justice within food systems. Fellows engage in a six-month immersive experience at the Allegheny Farm Campus, where they receive hands-on education in organic food production and community-focused agricultural practices. Participants not only learn to grow and distribute diverse crops but also facilitate health-oriented educational sessions, maintain community gardens, and support local farmers markets. Through collaboration with regional non-profits during their Community Action Year, they implement initiatives that increase access to healthy foods and build food literacy within schools and communities. The Fellowship is tuition-free, ensuring accessibility for all passionate individuals eager to make a lasting impact. Applications are accepted until March each year for this unique opportunity running from May to October.
