Farmers Assisting Returning Military, (F.A.R.M.) aims to reestablish the meaning in the lives of veterans through agricultural therapeutic rehabilitation and training. Our program allows veterans reintegrating into society to once again become teachers, providers, nurturers and leaders while empowering them to the lead the change in America's distressed food system.
F.A.R.M. assists veterans through agricultural skills training and providing them the resources they need to be successful while also focusing on the healing benefits of stewarding the land, what we call "dirt therapy."
Through training, peer to peer support and a holistic approach to healing with yoga, meditation, equine therapy and animal husbandry, F.A.R.M. has been able to serve and support veterans across the nation.
F.A.R.M. serves our nation's Veterans by helping them find peace, purpose and opportunity through agricultural therapeutic rehabilitation.
F.A.R.M. has settled into our new home and things are ramping up!
We are currently in need of operating funds to create jobs for veterans on the farm. We will be starting our internship and going into full production to provide food for the community and our first veteran hire will be for a farm manager.
We are also looking for programmatic funds to bring in veteran educators that will lead training, education and provide peer to peer support while also helping us restart F.A.R.M.'s internship.
