The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship, located in Salisbury, NC, empowers individuals to become advocates for sustainable and just food systems. Sponsored by the Allegheny Mountain Institute, this fellowship offers a unique six-month experiential learning opportunity at Allegheny Farm in Highland County, VA, where participants receive comprehensive training in organic food systems without incurring tuition costs. Fellows engage in practical education that supports community-oriented projects including the cultivation and distribution of diverse crops, community gardening, and the integration of food and ecological literacy into educational settings. They also assist in developing health-focused initiatives, supporting farmers markets, and improving access to healthy foods. Following their immersive training, Fellows will undertake a Community Action Year, collaborating with regional non-profit organizations to apply their skills and foster positive change. Applications are typically due by March, with the fellowship running from May to October.
