Our Programs and Services
We offer a range of programs and services to support veterans in agriculture, including training and mentorship programs, access to land and funding, beekeeping and other agricultural education, and community apiaries. Our programs are designed to provide veterans with the skills and knowledge they need to start and grow successful agricultural enterprises, while also providing them with a sense of community and belonging in the agricultural sector.
Through our partnerships with organizations like the Farmer Veteran Coalition and the Washington Beekeepers Association, we are able to offer veterans a wide range of resources and support. From beekeeping training and mentorship to access to land and funding, we work closely with veterans to help them achieve their agricultural goals and build sustainable careers in farming.
Strengthening Communities through Sustainable Agriculture
We believe that supporting veterans in agriculture is not just about helping individual veterans achieve their goals, but about creating a more sustainable and equitable food system for all. By strengthening rural communities and promoting sustainable agriculture practices, we can improve the health and well-being of our communities and create a more resilient and prosperous future for generations to come. We are committed to making a lasting impact on the lives of veterans and their communities, and we invite you to join us in this important work.
