The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship based in Smith, NV, is dedicated to cultivating leaders who advocate for a food system that is just and sustainable. This unique program empowers Fellows through comprehensive training in organic food systems, allowing them to teach, mentor, and implement initiatives that promote food equity and ecological literacy. Through practical experiences at Allegheny Farm, selected Fellows engage in diverse activities such as growing and distributing crops, maintaining community gardens, and facilitating educational sessions in health care. The Fellowship emphasizes accessibility by eliminating tuition costs, ensuring that passionate individuals can contribute to vital community food efforts, including support for farmers markets and direct-to-consumer programs. Following their six-month residency, Fellows enter a Community Action Year, partnering with local non-profits to apply their skills and further enhance access to healthy foods. Applications are open until March each year, with the program running from May to October.
