Additional Information

The Vision for FVC-TN is to create a network of farmer veterans, resource personnel and supporting organizations that can help train and support veterans as they transition into farming and as they grow in their farming career. Our desire is to help veterans find the resources they need by sharing information online, supporting existing training venues and conducting our own training events throughout the year. We want to help connect individuals and groups of veterans and farmers so that they can work together on projects such as fence building, barn raising, installing irrigation, etc. The goal is to help each other build farm infrastructure while also building camaraderie and community.
