The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship, based in River Falls, WI, is dedicated to cultivating empowered leaders who advocate for a food system that prioritizes social, environmental, and economic justice. Our fellowship program provides comprehensive training in organic food system education, ensuring accessibility by waiving tuition fees. Through hands-on experiences at the Allegheny Farm in Highland County, VA, selected fellows engage in a six-month residential program, then transition into a Community Action Year where they partner with regional non-profits. Our fellows grow and distribute diversified crops, implement health education sessions, maintain community gardens, and integrate food and ecological literacy into local schools. We are committed to supporting farmers markets, enhancing access to healthy foods, and mentoring future advocates, all while fostering a sustainable and just food system in our communities.
