Since 2018, NCAT and the United States Botanic Garden have partnered to give military veterans an opportunity to see sustainable, profitable small-scale farming enterprises and learn about urban farming as a career.
Armed to Urban Farm participants learn about whole-farm planning, farm financial planning, urban crop production, urban soils, marketing, and more. Participants gain a strong foundation in the basic principles of operating a sustainable urban farming enterprise and join a nationwide network of supportive farmer-veterans and agricultural advisors.
