Application Deadline Extended for Armed to Urban Farm

NCAT and the United States Botanic Garden (USBG) are offering their popular veterans’ urban agriculture training in Madison, Wisconsin, September 8-12, 2025. The deadline to apply to participate in this session has been extended until August 1, 2025. Armed to Urban Farm gives military veterans an opportunity to see sustainable, profitable small-scale farming enterprises and learn about urban farming as a career. Armed to Urban Farm will include a week of engaging classroom sessions, farm tours, and hands-on activities in Madison. The program is available to military veterans who are interested in starting an urban farm or who are beginning urban farmers (less than 10 years). All veterans are welcome to apply, but those from the Midwest region will receive priority.
