Military Veteran Merges Farming Interest with Teaching

Military Veteran Merges Farming Interest with Teaching

by amycpat | Jul 12, 2023 | Farm School, female farmer, Veteran Farmers

Melanee, a military veteran, enrolled in the CAFF Farm School to develop an urban micro-farm on an under utilized half-acre on her school’s property. The project, dubbed Hide and Seek Farm, will provide learning opportunities for her young charges and nutritious food for school meals. The school currently serves organic food and places a standard grocery order each week. Melanee hopes to grow much of the school’s food in the future.
