Veterans • First Responders • Sustainable Agriculture • Resilience
At Ease Orchard works at the intersection of military service, sustainable agriculture, farm business development, and rural resilience. We support military veterans, first responders, caregivers, and their families as they build practical skills, explore agriculture, strengthen farm businesses, and reconnect with land, food, and community.
What began in Indiana has grown into a broader effort to educate, connect, and support veterans and first responders through regional events, peer-to-peer learning, farm business and marketing education, adaptive agriculture referrals, and partnerships with organizations serving veterans, farmers, and rural communities.
