“That’s the one thing I always tell veterans: no matter what’s going on, there’s always hope.”

In NCAT’s new short film, “Armed to Farm Stories: Sara Creech,” we hear from one farmer veteran who overcame trauma and loss through organic farming. Sara Creech shares how attending NCAT’s Armed to Farm program in 2013 empowered her not only to pursue farming but also to help other farmer veterans. For more information about NCAT’s sustainable agriculture training program for military veterans, visit ARMEDTOFARM.ORG.
