The Veterans Farmstead is a Non-Profit farm and healing space for veterans and service members facing service connected challenges. Many service members find it difficult to reintegrate back into society, feeling lost, helpless and disconnected. Service related complex PTSD, TBI, traumas and stress have created family confusion, homelessness, isolation and suicide. Reconnecting Service members to Nature through sun, soil and ancestral foods have proven to help ease mental health challenges, find a new purpose and becoming part of a peer supportive community. This nontraditional, innovative approach in a non-clinical environment provides our services members the tools to help manage the challenges they may face today and in the future without judgement, with dignity and with respect.
