The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Kyle, SD, is dedicated to nurturing a new generation of advocates for a just and sustainable food system. Our program is designed to provide aspiring leaders with organic food system education, empowering them to engage in community initiatives such as growing and distributing diverse crops, managing school and community gardens, and promoting food and ecological literacy in educational settings. By offering a tuition-free experience, we ensure that this Fellowship remains accessible to all. Fellows will spend six transformative months at our farm, immersed in hands-on learning, followed by a Community Action Year where they will implement their training alongside regional non-profits. This fellowship not only enriches individual career paths but also strengthens local food systems through collaborative efforts, from supporting farmers markets to enhancing access to fresh, healthy foods.
