The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Palmyra, VA, empowers individuals to become passionate advocates for a food system that is just and sustainable. Sponsored by the Allegheny Mountain Institute, this unique program provides Fellows with comprehensive training in organic food systems, allowing them to engage in meaningful projects such as growing and distributing diverse crops, maintaining community gardens, and integrating food and ecological literacy into educational settings. By fostering partnerships with regional non-profit organizations, Fellows not only gain hands-on experience during their six-month residency at Allegheny Farm but also take part in a Community Action Year, applying their knowledge to enhance local food security and support sustainable practices. With no tuition fees, the Fellowship promotes accessibility and inclusivity, inviting a diverse cohort to join in the mission of creating healthier, more equitable food systems throughout the region.
