The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Burnsville, MN, is dedicated to empowering individuals to become advocates for a just food system that prioritizes social, environmental, and economic well-being. Through a comprehensive six-month experiential training at the Allegheny Farm Campus, selected Fellows receive education in organic food systems, allowing them to grow and distribute diverse crops, facilitate health-focused educational sessions, and support community initiatives like school gardens and farmers markets. The Fellowship emphasizes accessibility by not charging tuition, creating opportunities for engagement in community food coalition activities and mentoring future Fellows. Following their training, participants embark on a Community Action Year, where they apply their skills in partnership with regional non-profit organizations. Applications are accepted until March each year, with the program running from May to October, making it a vital resource for building sustainable food systems in the region.
