Growing Food.
Building Community.
Transforming the Food System.

Allegheny Mountain Institute believes in the power of food to build vibrant, healthy communities. We’re training food system advocates and amplifying the impact of partner organizations throughout the Allegheny Highlands and Shenandoah Valley, as we work toward a food system that is socially, environmentally, and economically just.

Mission
