National Young Farmers Coalition’s Root and Bloom Fellowship Accepting Applications

National Young Farmers Coalition’s Root and Bloom Fellowship is an advocacy and power-building educational opportunity for 25 farmers from across the country to dive deep into the roots of federal agriculture policy and uncover how it shapes the landscape for young and BIPOC farmers. From September 2026 to June 2027, fellows will meet (virtually) for bimonthly sessions that will foster relationships amongst the geographically diverse cohort, allow space to dive deep into topics like organizing, advocacy, power analysis, and ultimately culminate in fellows pursuing leadership positions. Fellows will receive stipends for their time spent on program activities, estimated as a four to six hour per month time commitment. The application period closes May 6, 2026.
