Veterans Healing Farm

Workshops: This year VHF ran 57 workshops for over 500 participants with a 92% approval rating. Workshops included equine therapy, canine therapy, art therapy, music therapy, neurofeedback therapy, vegetable canning, floral arrangements, art classes, jam making, mushroom growing, medicinal herbs, etc. This was also our third season of offering suicide prevention classes to the entire community. To date we have trained 68 individuals in suicide prevention. We did many different outings to include fly-fishing, tourist games, kayaking trips, and hikes out in the community.

Events: Our 3rd Annual Veterans Resource Fair saw participation of over 420 in attendance for this Veteran event. Forty organizations that provide services to Veterans participated. We also hosted our end-of-year celebration and closing of the old location property with over 50 participants/volunteers coming to celebrate with us. We found our forever home at the new location and had many volunteers help with getting us back up and running including clearing the property after the storm. We held a coffee drop-in, bonfire, Friendsgiving and Christmas event all in the short time of getting into the farm in September.
