We’ve all heard the saying, “Food security is national security.” Few people take both food and national security more seriously than veterans in agriculture, such as Matthew and Kara Rutter, who have established Project Victory Gardens in Townville, South Carolina. Project Victory Gardens aims to bring more former service members onto the farm. Kara said they do this through a number of methods.
Kara said they also introduce veterans to the growing industry of agritourism.
Matthew added that Project Victory Gardens is part of the Department of Defense SkillBridge Program, which helps military members transition into their next career.
