The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Junction City, OR, empowers aspiring leaders to champion a fair and sustainable food system through immersive training and hands-on experience. Our program fosters a deep understanding of organic food practices, integrating education with community engagement. Fellows engage in diverse projects ranging from cultivating and distributing crops on market-style farms, to leading innovative health education sessions, maintaining community gardens, and promoting food literacy in local schools.

We prioritize accessibility by offering this transformative fellowship at no tuition cost, making it possible for dedicated individuals to join us on this important mission. Applications are accepted until March for seasonal cohorts running from May to October each year.
