I have tons of storage space for raw foods, but my villagers leave food from the farms I have out until it rots. I don’t know why they won’t store it, but it’s kinda getting on my nerves. Is there a way to set priorities for what they pick up and store? They all seem to be chasing after my miners and storing the rocks instead of the food.

You can designate item zones on your containers and the settlers will put the items in those containers when they are not busy doing other more important jobs. You can change how settlers prioritize skills like carrying from the settler skill priority screen (L). Currently there is no way to prioritize items to be picked up first. That's on my long list of to-do's.
