The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Hardwick, VT, empowers passionate individuals to become advocates and educators for a just food system that prioritizes social, environmental, and economic equity. This transformative program sponsors Fellows to engage in organic food system education and practical farming experiences. Throughout their six-month residency at the Allegheny Farm Campus, participants cultivate diverse crops, develop innovative health education initiatives, maintain community gardens, and lead efforts to enhance food literacy in schools. By supporting farmers markets and direct-to-consumer sales, they work to improve access to healthy foods and foster community food coalitions. Following their training, Fellows enter a Community Action Year, where they apply their skills in collaboration with local non-profits, making a meaningful impact on the food landscape of the region. Applications are accepted until March each year, with the fellowship experience typically running from May to October, creating a nurturing community dedicated to sustainable food practices.
