OUR MISSION
OUR MISSION
The Veterans Farmstead is a 501(C)3 Non-Profit farm and healing space for veterans, service members and their families. Many service members find it difficult to reintegrate back into society following thier service. Often feeling lost, helpless and disconnected. Service-related Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), and Military Sexual Trauma (MST) often result in disconnection with family, freinds and the community: isolation, homelessness and suicide. Engaging Service members with Nature through sun, soil and ancestral foods, veterans, service members, and their families often discover a renewed purpose while also becoming part of a peer supportive community. This nontraditional, innovative approach in our non-clinical environment provides veterans, services members and their families with tools to help navigate the challenges they often face every day with dignity and respect.
Healing through Sun, Soil and Ancestral Foods
