About Farm & Food Systems Fellowship

The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship, based in Oak Grove, KY, empowers individuals to advocate for a just and sustainable food system through comprehensive education and hands-on experience. Our program at the Allegheny Farm focuses on training fellows in organic food systems, enabling them to become champions for social, environmental, and economic justice. Without imposing tuition fees, we ensure accessibility for all aspiring fellows. Participants engage in a six-month immersive experience where they learn to grow and distribute a variety of crops on a market-style farm, implement health-focused educational sessions, and maintain community gardens. They also play a pivotal role in fostering food and ecological literacy within schools, supporting local farmers markets, and enhancing access to nutritious foods. After their fellowship, participants transition into a Community Action Year, collaborating with regional non-profits to apply their knowledge and skills. Applications should be submitted by March for the program cycle that typically runs from May to October.
