Fellowship

Growing Food

Building Community

Join us

We're an educational non-profit working to cultivate healthy communities through food and education. We envision a thriving network of collaborative, vibrant communities who value the connection between food and health.

2020 Fellowship Application

AMI's fully sponsored 18-month Fellowship prepares and empowers individuals to become teachers and ambassadors for a more vibrant and accessible local food system. Fellows spend six months in immersive training (Phase I) and one year in non-profit service (Phase II).

Slow down and enjoy a stay in our rustic lodge on our beautiful Allegheny Farm Campus in Highland County. Meet, learn and work alongside young adults passionate about growing healthy communities through food. Not up for an overnight stay? We also offer regular public workshops!

Farm Stay

The AMI Farm at Augusta Health is a joint venture of AMI and Augusta Health to raise awareness about the importance of healthy eating and sustainable growing practices to promote health and wellbeing in the community. The farm is located in Fishersville, VA.
