What a better way to start the Independence Day weekend, then with a spotlight on a Pennsylvania program that assists our Veteran farmers!

We spoke with Mimi Thomas-Brooker, Project Director for the PA Veteran Farming Project and Troops to Tractors. Mimi discusses the different aspects of the project and how she and her organization work to assist veteran farmers in their farming initiatives. She gives an overview of what a Veteran Field Day consists of and shares success stories from throughout PA.

You can contact the PA Veteran Farming Project by calling Mimi directly at 724-691-1087, emailing at pavetsfarm@gmail.com, visiting www.troopstotractors.org, or visiting them on Instagram and Facebook!

Their next field day will be held July 10th in Hanover, PA at Jacobs Valley Farm. More information and registration for the event can be found here.
