The Sky High Farmer Training Fellowship, inaugurated in May 2022, is a paid educational work experience for an annual group of Fellows to receive comprehensive agricultural training focused on vegetable production and livestock management, attuned to their unique backgrounds and goals. The Sky High Farm team develops and executes a curriculum for the Fellows over the course of the growing season, which educates the Fellows on no-till garden management, propagation, food processing, livestock management, animal husbandry, as well as vegetable washing and packing. Along with these experiential teachings, the Fellows learn about Sky High’s operations from a farm management and organizational level, are provided with readings and background that contextualizes their agricultural work within food justice and sovereignty movements, and participate in educational opportunities like local farm visits, workshops, and early career professional development.
