Our Story Our Goals Contact Us Resources Where to Find Us Our MissionThe VAC has a shared purpose: food production and provide a setting for the healing power of horticulture therapy. Like us on Facebook! | Donate!Support the Veterans Agricultural Cooperative What veterans bring out of the military is solid work ethic, leadership skills, and a strong sense of orderliness and discipline to a setting where all involved have a task to perform. The notable task of feeding people can be seen as a larger-than-self mission. We at the VAC recognize that the hard, physical work encountered on a farm not only offers skills training -- it holds therapeutic value for those who are struggling to make a transition back into civilian life. Farm work can also appeal to a lot of veterans who often may not want to interact with others. Being comprised mainly of veterans and their friends and family, the VAC realizes the structure that veterans are comfortable with and we are devoted to helping the veteran community make the transition to civilian life. |
