The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship, hosted by the Allegheny Mountain Institute in Hedgesville, WV, is dedicated to nurturing the next generation of food advocates committed to building a just and sustainable food system. This unique program empowers Fellows through comprehensive organic food system education without tuition barriers, ensuring accessibility for all participants. Over six months at our Allegheny Farm Campus, Fellows engage in hands-on learning while focusing on critical activities such as growing and distributing diverse crops, maintaining community gardens, and promoting food literacy in schools. They also collaborate with regional non-profit organizations during a Community Action Year, connecting their training to real-world applications that enhance food access and community health initiatives. Interested individuals are encouraged to apply by March each year, with the fellowship experience typically taking place from May to October.
