NEW HEALTHY VETERAN LIFESTYLE "VETS 2 FARMERS"
OUR PURPOSE
We are Vets2Farmers.
For those who have served, the mission never truly ends—it just changes ground. We believe the skills forged in service—discipline, resilience, and camaraderie—are the exact tools needed to build a revolutionary future in agriculture. Our Core Mission: The "Healthy Veteran Lifestyle" Our purpose is to rebuild the foundation of the American Dream for our veterans. We are creating a self-sustaining Urban-Farm & Home community where veterans don’t just live; they thrive, lead, and own.
This is not a handout; it is a "hand-up" to a position of ownership and strength.
- Empowerment: We provide cutting-edge aeroponics training, sales & management, turning veterans into skilled Entrepreneur Business Owners.
- Prosperity: Our business model offers the potential for individual farmer-entrepreneurs to generate yearly revenues exceeding $100,000.
- Ownership: We guide our veterans in purchasing their own Urban Farm & Home using VA and USDA programs, securing their financial independence.
The "Battle Buddy" Philosophy: Strength in Numbers
We know that veterans thrive best when they are surrounded by those who understand their journey. Our community is designed to foster that essential sense of camaraderie. It is from this position of strength that we extend a hand to our own. While our primary focus is empowering capable veterans to become business leaders, we believe that strong veterans help veterans.
- A Bridge for the Fallen: We will open our doors to a select number of disadvantaged veterans per community - offering free room, board, and a 2-week certification program to get them back on their feet.
- A Path Forward: Upon certification, these veterans earn the right to work full-time within the community, reclaiming their dignity through purpose and productivity.
- Total course: 6 months hands-on and virtual learning will entail, Aeroponics, Soil farming for root plants and fruits, composting, worm farming, bee farming
A Vision for the Future
We are not just growing food; we are growing a future. A future where all the veterans who carried the weight of our nation can put down roots. A future where the capable lift the disadvantaged, not through pity, but through shared work and shared success.
Healing Through Purpose There is a unique healing that happens when hands touch the soil & plants and when shoulders stand together. Our communities are built on the "Battle Buddy" philosophy—where shared experience creates an unbreakable bond. It is from this position of strength that we lift our own. Every thriving Vets2Farmers community dedicates space to help our disadvantaged brothers, sisters and spouses - offering them a safe haven, training, and a path to productivity. We believe that strong veterans help veterans, not through pity, but through shared work and shared success.
Your Call to Action: "Help Us Feed the Future"
To the American public: Our veterans have answered the call to defend our freedom. Now, they are answering a new call to duty “Help feed America” and "Make America Healthy Again."
We are not a medical facility, but a community of healing through purpose. As our ranks grow, we aim to partner with the VA to bring essential support services directly to our communities.
Join us. Build your farm. Own your future. Serve your community.

Aeroponic Farming - Living Foods
Aeroponics farming allows for year-long growth, enabling 6-10 times more harvests than traditional soil farming, making it a valuable business opportunity. Through hydroponics training, individuals can learn how to achieve 11-15 harvests per year while enjoying better working conditions. This method uses only 5-20% of the water compared to soil farming, making it an eco-friendly option for self-sustainable farming. With the addition of nutrients from a mineral-based formula, organic vegetables produced through this method provide 3-10 times more nutrition than produce purchased at supermarkets, benefiting both consumers and veteran support programs focused on sustainable agriculture.
Training Program
Assistance is provided from USDA, and we have the support of our affiliate, The Terrace Foundation, which has been farming for many years and specializes in aeroponics training. They handle all of the training for self-sustainable farming practices. With its successful model, The Terrace Foundation has used the proceeds from growing vegetables to provide over 30,000 free meals per year to low-income elderly individuals in the local Santa Barbara neighborhood, while also supporting veteran support programs.

Veterans Suicide Prevention and Homelessness
There are 18.2 million veterans in the US and 1.3 million active-duty soldiers. The average suicide rate of veterans is 22 every day. To combat this crisis, we need to implement veteran support programs that encourage self-sustainable farming practices, such as aeroponics training, helping our veterans embrace a new 'Veteran Lifestyle' and take pride in being American Vets once again.
