Farmers Assisting Returning Military (F.A.R.M.)

Farmers Assisting Returning Military (F.A.R.M.) in Denton, TX, is dedicated to empowering veterans through agriculture, drawing on the meaningful experience of two Iraq War veterans who found healing in farming together. Our program is open to all veterans, particularly those facing challenges such as suicidal thoughts, homelessness, or chemical dependency. At F.A.R.M., veterans cultivate crops, care for livestock, and enhance farm operations in a supportive peer-to-peer environment. We are committed to helping veterans discover a renewed sense of purpose and community through hands-on agricultural training. While our internship enrollment is temporarily paused as we develop new farm locations, we encourage veterans to reach out for information about upcoming opportunities. Participants can benefit from a stipend, shared housing, and job placement assistance after completing our program, which not only provides practical farming experience but also culminates in a certificate that can assist in obtaining farming loans. We prioritize connecting veterans with vital treatment resources for dependency issues, ensuring a holistic approach to their reintegration journey. Whether you're interested in hands-on farm work or seeking guidance for your future in agriculture, F.A.R.M. stands ready to support you on your path.
