Based in Winterville, NC, the Farm & Food Systems Fellowship is dedicated to fostering a food system that is just, sustainable, and equitable. We empower our Fellows through comprehensive training in organic food systems and experiential learning at the Allegheny Farm in Highland County, VA, where we emphasize accessibility by not charging tuition. Our program prepares Fellows to educate and advocate for healthier communities by growing and distributing diverse crops, implementing innovative healthcare educational sessions, and enhancing local school and community gardens. Through direct support of farmers’ markets and food distribution channels, our Fellows play a vital role in improving access to healthy food. The Fellowship includes a six-month residency followed by a Community Action Year, allowing participants to apply their skills with regional non-profits. For those interested in making a meaningful impact, we invite you to apply by March of each year for our program, typically running from May to October.
