The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Cartersville, GA, is dedicated to empowering individuals to advocate for a just food system that integrates social, environmental, and economic principles. This innovative program offers comprehensive training in organic food system education along with hands-on experiences at the Allegheny Farm in Highland County, VA. By providing this fellowship free of charge, we ensure accessibility for all aspiring leaders. Participants engage in meaningful community projects, including growing and distributing diverse crops, implementing health-focused educational sessions, maintaining community gardens, and integrating food and ecological literacy into schools. Alongside supporting farmers markets and direct-to-consumer initiatives, Fellows also develop distribution channels to enhance access to healthy foods. This immersive six-month experience culminates in a Community Action Year, where participants put their skills into practice with regional nonprofits, fostering strong relationships and sustainable practices. Applications are accepted until March each year, with the experience running from May to October.
