The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Prestonsburg, KY, is dedicated to nurturing the next generation of advocates for an equitable food system through hands-on training and robust community engagement. Sponsored by the Allegheny Mountain Institute, this transformative program emphasizes organic food system education and empowers Fellows to implement practical initiatives, from growing diversified crops on sustainable farms to creating and maintaining community gardens. Our commitment to accessibility means we do not charge tuition, ensuring that all passionate individuals can take part. Over six months, selected Fellows immerse themselves in experiential learning at the Allegheny Farm Campus, followed by a Community Action Year where they will collaborate with regional non-profits to enrich food literacy, support farmers markets, and enhance access to healthy foods. Applications are accepted until March, with the fellowship experience running from May to October, creating a powerful opportunity for real impact in local food systems.
