The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Stacy, MN is dedicated to cultivating a new generation of leaders who are passionate about creating a just and equitable food system. Through our immersive program, we empower Fellows with hands-on training in organic agriculture, food literacy, and community engagement. Participants engage in diverse activities such as growing and distributing crops, implementing educational initiatives focused on health and nutrition, maintaining community gardens, and supporting local farmers markets. Over a six-month residency at our farm campus, Fellows learn the nuances of sustainable food practices and with their newfound skills, spend a Community Action Year collaborating with regional non-profits to make meaningful impacts in their communities. We believe in making this transformative experience accessible, which is why we do not charge tuition, ensuring that anyone committed to fostering a healthier food system can apply. The application process closes in March, and the Fellowship runs from May to October, providing a unique opportunity for aspiring advocates to make a real difference in food education and access.
