The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Sweetwater, TN, offers a transformative opportunity for individuals to learn, advocate, and lead within a food system that prioritizes social, environmental, and economic justice. Sponsored by the Allegheny Mountain Institute, this program is dedicated to eliminating barriers by providing free tuition for participants. Fellows engage in hands-on training and education in organic food systems, empowering them to grow and distribute diverse crops on market-style farms, foster innovative healthcare through educational initiatives, and cultivate school and community gardens. The fellowship emphasizes food literacy, supporting farmers markets and enhancing distribution channels to ensure greater access to healthy foods. After six months of experiential learning at the Allegheny Farm Campus, Fellows transition to a Community Action Year, where they apply their skills in partnership with regional non-profit organizations. Interested candidates are encouraged to apply by March each year, with the fellowship experience typically running from May to October.
