The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Freeport, ME, is dedicated to empowering individuals to advocate for a just food system that prioritizes social, environmental, and economic fairness. Through a six-month experiential program at the Allegheny Farm in Highland County, VA, selected fellows immerse themselves in organic food system education and hands-on training. Participants work on a market-style farm, promoting diversified crop growth and distribution, while also engaging in community initiatives such as maintaining school gardens, teaching food literacy, and supporting local farmers markets. This fellowship not only fosters mentorship but also encourages collaboration with regional non-profits during a Community Action Year, enhancing access to healthy foods and advocating for sustainable practices. By eliminating tuition costs, the program is committed to making this transformative experience accessible to a diverse group of aspiring leaders in food systems. Applications are accepted until March each year, with the fellowship running from May to October.
