The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Leakesville, MS, nurtures aspiring advocates and educators by providing them with essential training in organic food systems and sustainable practices. This transformative program is dedicated to building a food system that prioritizes social, environmental, and economic justice, empowering selected Fellows to implement innovative solutions in their communities. By offering a tuition-free experience, we ensure accessibility for individuals committed to making a difference. Over a six-month intensive training period at our farm, participants will engage in hands-on learning, collaborate with local non-profits, and run diverse initiatives such as community gardens, farmers markets, and educational sessions focused on food and ecological literacy. The Fellowship not only fosters the growth of essential agricultural skills but also cultivates leadership, creating a ripple effect of positive change within the local food landscape. Applications are welcomed each year until March, with experiential opportunities spanning from May to October, allowing Fellows to directly impact their communities through sustainable practices and food justice initiatives.
