The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Deming, NM, is dedicated to cultivating a new generation of leaders who advocate for a food system that prioritizes social, environmental, and economic justice. Through immersive, hands-on training, our Fellows gain valuable insights into organic food production and sustainable practices. This unique program offers tuition-free education to ensure accessibility, allowing participants to engage in meaningful initiatives like growing a diverse range of crops, enhancing food literacy in schools, and supporting local farmers markets. After a comprehensive six-month residency at our farm, Fellows enter a Community Action Year, where they collaborate with regional non-profits to implement innovative health and food distribution solutions. We believe in the power of empowered individuals to create lasting change in their communities and are committed to building equitable pathways for healthy food access and environmental stewardship.
