The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Watertown, SD, dedicates itself to fostering a just food system that encompasses social, environmental, and economic fairness. This impactful program empowers individuals to become advocates and educators in sustainable practices through hands-on training at the Allegheny Farm in Highland County, VA. By investing in their Fellows without charging tuition, the Fellowship ensures greater accessibility. Participants engage in diverse activities, including growing and distributing crops on market-style farms, leading educational health initiatives, maintaining community gardens, and promoting food literacy in schools. The six-month, immersive Farm and Food Study experience culminates in a Community Action Year, where Fellows apply their skills alongside regional non-profit organizations. Applications are accepted until March, with the program running from May to October each year.
