The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship, based in Park River, ND, is dedicated to cultivating a new generation of advocates for an equitable food system that prioritizes social, environmental, and economic justice. This empowering program offers hands-on training at the Allegheny Farm in Virginia, where selected Fellows engage in a six-month experiential study without any tuition fees, promoting accessibility for all. Participants gain vital skills in organic food production, community gardening, and direct-to-consumer distribution, while also facilitating educational sessions focused on food and ecological literacy. Throughout the Fellowship, they work alongside regional non-profit organizations to enhance access to healthy food, mentor future fellows, and support community food initiatives. The application period runs until March each year, with sessions taking place from May to October, allowing Fellows to make impactful contributions to their communities and the broader food landscape.
