Our programs

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Food & Leadership Fellowship (FLF)

Fellows ages 17-23 who are no longer in high school receive hands-on experience running a production farm and distributing produce to increase food access in Austin. During their 14-week season in the fall or spring, Fellows learn about inequality in our food system and directly make a difference through their work on the farm and in the community.
