The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Bennington, VT, equips passionate individuals with the skills to advocate for a fair and sustainable food system. This immersive program offers a comprehensive education in organic farming and emphasizes social, environmental, and economic justice. By fostering hands-on experience at the Allegheny Farm in Highland County, VA, Fellows engage in various community initiatives, including crop growing, educational sessions on innovative health, and support for local farmers markets. The Fellowship is committed to accessibility, charging no tuition fees, and encourages participants to deepen their understanding of food and ecological literacy. Over six months, Fellows live and learn on the farm, after which they embark on a Community Action Year, applying their knowledge in collaboration with regional non-profits. Applications are accepted until March, with the program running from May through October.
