The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Ridgeley, WV, is dedicated to cultivating a new generation of advocates and educators committed to a just food system that prioritizes social, environmental, and economic equity. Sponsored by the Allegheny Mountain Institute, this Fellowship offers a tuition-free, six-month experiential program at the Allegheny Farm Campus, where selected Fellows gain hands-on organic food system education. Participants actively engage in sustainable practices, including the cultivation and distribution of diverse crops, educational initiatives for health care, community gardening, and promoting food literacy in schools. After their training, Fellows transition into a Community Action Year, applying their skills alongside local non-profit organizations to enhance access to healthy foods and support initiatives like farmers markets and community food coalitions. Applications are accepted until March each year for a program that runs from May to October, ensuring accessibility and impact in the community.
