The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Crossville, TN, is dedicated to nurturing the next generation of advocates and educators for a just and sustainable food system. Sponsored by the Allegheny Mountain Institute, this fellowship offers an immersive six-month program at the Allegheny Farm Campus, where selected Fellows receive hands-on training in organic food systems, ecological literacy, and community engagement. By focusing on empowering individuals to grow and distribute diverse crops, implement innovative health initiatives, and maintain community gardens, we work towards enhancing food access and supporting local farmers markets. Our commitment to accessibility means no tuition fees are charged, ensuring that everyone can participate in this vital work. Following their fellowship, participants join a Community Action Year, partnering with regional non-profits to apply their skills and drive meaningful change. Applications are welcomed annually, with deadlines in March and programs typically running from May to October.
