Farm & Food Systems Fellowship

The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Perry, OK, is dedicated to nurturing the next generation of leaders in our food system by providing comprehensive training and support for passionate Fellows. This unique program empowers individuals to advocate for a food system that prioritizes social, environmental, and economic justice. Through hands-on experience at our farm, Fellows engage in activities such as growing diverse crops, implementing health education sessions, and maintaining community gardens—all aimed at enhancing food access and promoting ecological literacy. The Fellowship also encourages collaboration with local organizations to develop innovative food distribution channels and support farmers markets. Each selected Fellow participates in a six-month residential training program followed by a year of community action, making a tangible difference in their communities. Applications are welcomed until March each year, with the Fellowship experience running from May to October.
