Summer Solstice Celebration
On Wednesday, June 21st, a group of Veteran Farmers and community partners gathered at the Orting Veterans Farm, situated on the WA State Department of Veterans Affairs' Soldiers Home campus in the Orting Valley, to celebrate the first day of summer and to share resources and skills with each other. The gathering included cohort members of the FVC’s Shepherd Project, farmers growing on the Orting Farm, community partners, and other Veterans interested in learning about the projects. The event was hosted by GRuB’s Veteran Programs coordinators, Jennah Kemp and Beau Gromley, and Carrie Little, the farm manager of the Orting Veterans Farm.
