The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship, located in Elkton, SD, is dedicated to training and empowering individuals to champion a food system that promotes social, environmental, and economic justice. Through an immersive six-month experiential program, selected fellows receive comprehensive organic food system education at Allegheny Farm. This unique fellowship emphasizes accessibility by waiving tuition fees, inviting diverse participants to engage deeply in initiatives such as growing and distributing diversified crops, maintaining school and community gardens, and teaching food and ecological literacy. Additionally, fellows support farmers markets and direct-to-consumer programs while mentoring the next generation of leaders. The fellowship culminates in a Community Action Year, where participants apply their knowledge through partnerships with local non-profits to enhance food access and community well-being. Applications are accepted until March each year, with the fellowship experience running from May to October.
