The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship located in Kenova, WV, at the Allegheny Mountain Institute is dedicated to cultivating passionate advocates for a just and sustainable food system. Our fellowship program provides comprehensive training to empower participants as they engage in hands-on learning and community initiatives. By offering organic food system education and fostering partnerships in the region, fellows gain invaluable experience in growing and distributing diverse crops, facilitating health-oriented educational sessions, and nurturing community gardens. Additionally, they support local farmers markets, develop channels for improving access to healthy foods, and contribute to community food coalition efforts. With no tuition fees, we ensure that our program is accessible to all aspiring leaders. Selected fellows embark on a six-month immersive experience at the Allegheny Farm Campus, followed by a Community Action Year, where they apply their skills in collaboration with regional non-profits, promoting food equity and ecological literacy through various community projects.
