The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in South Burlington, VT, is dedicated to nurturing a new generation of advocates for a fair and sustainable food system. Sponsored by the Allegheny Mountain Institute, this program empowers Fellows through comprehensive organic food system education, with no tuition fees ensuring accessibility. Over a dedicated six-month experiential learning period at the Allegheny Farm Campus, participants engage in hands-on training while focusing on diversified crop production, educational health care initiatives, and community gardening efforts. After this immersive experience, Fellows enter a Community Action Year, collaborating with regional non-profit organizations to apply their knowledge by supporting farmers markets, enhancing access to healthy food, and fostering food and ecological literacy in local schools. The fellowship not only emphasizes food assistance and distribution channels but also cultivates community leaders who are passionate about creating a socially, environmentally, and economically just food system.
