“Veterans of the US armed forces returning from war and long-term service face many difficulties including: transitioning into the civilian sector, unstable family dynamics, and the effects of physical and mental disabilities.
 
The US agriculture sector is also facing many problems, especially small/family farms which suffer from an aging population. The abandonment of traditional practices and breeds further exacerbate the negative effects of pollution and industrialization.
 
Many veterans see themselves as a potential resource to replace the aging farm population. However, no programs currently exist that provide family participation, flexible individualized plans, or a whole farm concept. Which is why we have created Little Farms for Veterans (LFV) to aid veterans and their families in developing their future farm.”
