Please come support the Farmer Veteran Coalition’s mission of creating a new generation of farmers working with returning young veterans. Meet them and hear their stories.
The Farmer-Veteran Coalition seeks to help our returning veterans find employment, training, and places to heal on America’s farms. At the same time the Coalition hopes that some of these young men and women may help address our country’s critical need for more good, hard-working people entering the field of agriculture.
