The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Madison, NE, is dedicated to cultivating a just and sustainable food system through education and advocacy. Our program empowers passionate individuals by training them as community leaders who champion socially, environmentally, and economically responsible food practices. We provide comprehensive, hands-on training at our farm, where Fellows receive invaluable education on organic farming, food equity, and ecological practices without any tuition fees to ensure accessibility. Over six months, participants immerse themselves in experiential learning, including growing and distributing diverse crops, maintaining community gardens, and integrating food literacy into educational programming. After their fellowship, they engage in a Community Action Year, partnering with local non-profit organizations to apply their knowledge and further promote food assistance efforts in the region. With a focus on empowering the next generation of food advocates, we support initiatives that enhance access to healthy food and strengthen community ties.
