Veterans to Farmers Inc
The mission of Veterans to Farmers is to train veterans in agricultural systems, technologies, and business operations for a fulfilling and sustainable lifestyle.
Protectors to Providers Veterans learn new skills through the Veterans to Farmers programs and are introduced to a community of fellow veteran farmers who understand their culture and experiences. These relationships have led to sharing veteran-specific resources ranging from mental health support to housing assistance and navigating the Veterans Administration system. This program is free to all veterans; after enrollment, they receive a bi-weekly stipend ensuring that each veteran who graduates from the program does not end up in debt as they begin a career in farming. Our goal is to help revitalize the veteran's economic situation, not put a burden on it. The program seeks to eliminate some financial barriers that could deny veterans access to the program.
