The Veteran's Farm of North Carolina offers hands-on educational programs, mentorships, peer support, therapy, and rental equipment to veterans interested in entering the agricultural field. They provide all the necessary resources to ensure support and success during the transition into civilian life. Robert Elliot, who grew up on his family's farm, never thought he would go back to agriculture after his time in the military, but he ended up creating and inspiring communities of veterans in agriculture all over the U.S.
