Why The Land At Home Project?
“I am excited that this program provides opportunities for veterans interested in agriculture to connect with other like-minded people and learn skills that benefit themselves, their families, and their communities! I am passionate about the project’s holistic nature, which addresses the needs of individuals and communities, plants, animals, and the land that is home to it all.”
