The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Farmington, ME, empowers individuals to champion a food system that is equitable, sustainable, and vibrant. We provide hands-on training and mentorship, fostering leaders who will advocate for social, environmental, and economic justice within our food systems. Through our unique, tuition-free program, Fellows engage in organic food system education that includes growing diverse crops, supporting community gardens, and implementing innovative health initiatives. Participants also gain invaluable experience by collaborating with regional non-profit organizations during their Community Action Year, where they apply their knowledge and skills to enhance food access and ecological literacy in their communities. Our fellowship is designed to create a lasting impact, encouraging a new generation of advocates dedicated to promoting food justice and community resilience.
