ARMED TO FARM

Armed to Farm is a sustainable agriculture training program for military veterans. The National Center for Appropriate Technology, a national nonprofit organization based in Butte, Montana, developed Armed to Farm through a cooperative agreement with USDA-Rural Development... While NCAT staff from all six of our regional offices help organize and teach at Armed to Farm training events across the country, we have a core team that leads planning, facilitating, and evaluating the program... Armed to Farm has supported more than 1,000 veterans with hands-on and classroom learning opportunities for sustainable agriculture since launching in 2013.
