In the rolling green hills of Hendersonville, North Carolina, an organic farm has created a therapeutic refuge for veterans as mental health, addiction, and disability remain among the top challenges for American servicemembers.

Mental health issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and suicide have been an uphill battle for veterans and active duty military for decades.
