The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in East Grand Forks, MN, nurtures and empowers dedicated individuals to lead the charge for a just and sustainable food system. Our program focuses on providing comprehensive, free education in organic food systems, allowing participants to engage in hands-on experiences that cultivate their skills as teachers and advocates. During the six-month fellowship, participants immerse themselves in various initiatives including growing diversified crops, running practical educational workshops in health care, maintaining community gardens, and promoting food literacy in schools. Additionally, fellows will support local farmers' markets and enhance accessibility to healthy food options through innovative distribution strategies. After their intensive training at the Allegheny Farm Campus, fellows enter a Community Action Year where they collaborate with regional non-profits, applying their knowledge to implement meaningful change. Application is open until March each year for experiences running from May to October.
