A farm in Spokane, Washington, is dedicated to helping veterans learn to farm and explore agriculture as a livelihood.

The idea for Vets on the Farm came when director Vicki Carter attended a screening of the film “Ground Operation: Battlefields to Farmfields” in 2013. The film is a documentary on veterans who are finding a new sense of mission and organic therapy through sustainable agriculture.
