The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Mountain City, TN, is dedicated to cultivating the next generation of advocates for a just and sustainable food system. Through comprehensive training and hands-on experience at the Allegheny Farm in Highland County, VA, Fellows engage with key concepts in organic farming, ecological literacy, and community health. Our program emphasizes accessibility by eliminating tuition costs, ensuring that anyone passionate about food systems can participate. Over six months, selected Fellows immerse themselves in transformative learning experiences, from growing diverse crops and managing community gardens to mentoring future leaders and supporting local food initiatives. This Fellowship is a vital platform for individuals seeking to impact regional food coalitions, enhance access to healthy food, and implement educational outreach, culminating in a Community Action Year that allows them to apply their skills in partnership with non-profits in the area.
