The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Strafford, NH, is dedicated to cultivating the next generation of food advocates and educators through a comprehensive training program that champions a just food system. Sponsored by the Allegheny Mountain Institute, this fellowship allows selected participants to engage deeply in organic food system education, fostering social, environmental, and economic equity in local communities. Throughout an immersive six-month residency at AMI’s Allegheny Farm Campus, Fellows gain hands-on experience in diverse agricultural practices, from growing and distributing crops to leading educational initiatives that promote food and ecological literacy. Committed to accessibility, the Fellowship charges no tuition, empowering individuals to form impactful partnerships with non-profit organizations during their Community Action Year. This program not only enhances food access and supports farmers' markets but also encourages stewardship through initiatives such as community gardens and food coalition activities. Applications are accepted until March each year, with the transformative experience typically spanning from May to October.
