The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Chariton, IA, is dedicated to nurturing a new generation of advocates and educators for a food system that prioritizes social, environmental, and economic justice. This innovative program offers a comprehensive, tuition-free Farm and Food Study, enabling selected Fellows to immerse themselves in organic food system education without financial barriers. Through hands-on experience at the scenic Allegheny Farm, participants engage in vital initiatives such as growing and distributing diverse crops, maintaining community and school gardens, and fostering food literacy across educational settings. Fellows also contribute to vital local efforts, supporting farmers markets and enhancing access to healthy foods within their communities. Over a six-month immersive learning journey, followed by a Community Action Year, these dedicated individuals partner with regional non-profits to make a tangible impact. Aspiring Fellows are encouraged to submit their applications by March, with the fellowship typically running from May to October of the same year.
