Participants gain a strong foundation in the basic principles of operating a sustainable farm. In addition, Armed to Farm attendees join a nationwide network of supportive farmer-veterans and agricultural advisors.

    • Author and US Army Maj. Gen. Mari K. Eder will explore the topic of change and that space between what was and what will be through the stories of women who served in WWII. Their transition to civilian life serves as a framework for discussing modern-day transformation in the midst of a pandemic. What will transform and what will be left behind?
