Honoring our Veterans

Battleground to Breaking Ground Laredo a Success


The Battleground to Breaking Ground: A Transformational Journey Workshop was held in Laredo Texas on October 15, 2016 at Texas A&M International University. 

Over 30 veterans, beginning farmers and ranchers, and their families were present at the educational workshop. For more information and photos, view our blog post here.

 

Partner Highlight

This month's partner highlight is Farmer Veteran Coalition. 

Farmer Veteran Coalition's mission is mobilizing veterans to feed America.  FVC founded the Homegrown by Heroes label " The Homegrown By Heroes label is proudly displayed on products grown, raised and produced by hardworking farmer veterans who have chosen to serve their nation twice – once by defending it and once by feeding it."

FVC also established a Farmer Veteran Fellowship Fund that assists veterans with advancing their careers in agriculture by giving them access to funding, resources and support services.
