The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship, based in Shepherdstown, WV, is dedicated to cultivating a new generation of leaders who advocate for a just and sustainable food system. Sponsored by the Allegheny Mountain Institute, this unique program offers immersive training in organic food systems without any tuition costs, ensuring accessibility for all who are passionate about making a difference. Over a six-month residential experience at the Allegheny Farm Campus, Fellows engage in hands-on learning, gaining vital skills to grow and distribute diverse crops, implement health-centric educational initiatives, and run community gardens. After their initial training, participants embark on a Community Action Year, collaborating with local non-profits to apply their knowledge and promote food literacy, support farmers markets, and enhance access to healthy foods. The Fellowship emphasizes practical experience and community impact, creating a network of advocates committed to social, environmental, and economic justice in the food system.
