About Farm & Food Systems Fellowship
The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Alderson, WV, offered by the Allegheny Mountain Institute, is dedicated to fostering a new generation of advocates for a just food system grounded in social, environmental, and economic equity. Through this innovative program, we provide comprehensive organic food system education without charging tuition, ensuring accessibility for all passionate individuals. Selected Fellows engage in hands-on training at our Allegheny Farm Campus, where they learn to grow and distribute diverse crops on a market-style farm, facilitate health-focused educational sessions, maintain community gardens, and enhance food literacy within schools. Additionally, Fellows gain experience by supporting farmers markets and direct-to-consumer initiatives while developing strategies to increase access to fresh, healthy food in collaboration with local non-profits. Our Fellowship not only aims to empower participants but also emphasizes community cocreation, mentorship, and lasting impact on regional food justice initiatives, with applications accepted until March each year for the program typically running from May to October.
