Farmers + Vets + Community
Farmers Veterans Community (FVC) provides female veterans affiliated with Homes for the Brave the opportunity to learn how to prepare farm-fresh food through the guidance of WFM's vast chef network.
The veterans are educated about locally grown food, they work with an area chef to prepare a meal and then share the deliciousness of the local fare together around their table. The discussion of the local food scene, the health benefits of local food, a family's favorite recipe and job opportunities are among the topics discussed. This program creates a connection between veterans, farmers and the restaurant communities around healthful, local food. All ingredients are purchased from WFM farmers and producers.
Donated funds can be earmarked for FVC.
The program is funded through donations and grants. If you are interested in contributing to this program, please donate here.
