National Programs
Farmer Veteran Fellowship Fund
The Farmer Veteran Fellowship Fund is a small grant program that provides direct assistance to veterans who are in their beginning years of farming or ranching. Awards range from $1,000 to $5,000.
The Homegrown By Heroes Label
The Homegrown By Heroes (HBH) label is the official farmer veteran branding program of America. The label serves to inform consumers that agricultural products donning the logo were produced by U.S. military veterans.
Agvets Apprenticeship Program
“Veterans Farming Through Adversity” (nicknamed AgVets) is a national partnership between Farmer Veteran Coalition and four (4) certified agricultural training and apprenticeship programs. These programs help provide the base of knowledge and experience necessary to become a productive member of our agricultural community. These opportunities span 18 states and a variety of different focus areas and commodities. Each program has been vetted by FVC staff to ensure it provides a comprehensive, hands-on learning experience that addresses multiple aspects of farming and farm management, including farm operations, business development, market analysis, and commodity-specific information.
