The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Waterbury, VT, is dedicated to training and empowering individuals to advocate for a food system that prioritizes social justice, environmental sustainability, and economic viability. This transformative program offers aspiring Fellows a robust, tuition-free experience to learn about organic food systems, enabling them to engage meaningfully with their communities. During a six-month immersive residency at Allegheny Farm, participants gain hands-on experience growing diversified crops, maintaining school and community gardens, and implementing health-focused educational workshops. The Fellowship also emphasizes the importance of food and ecological literacy, encouraging Fellows to support farmers markets and develop distribution channels that enhance access to healthy foods. Upon completion of their training, participants embark on a Community Action Year, applying their skills by collaborating with local non-profits to create lasting change. Applications are accepted until March each year, with the program running from May to October, encouraging all passionate individuals to join in this vital mission.
