Support At Ease Orchard
At Ease Orchard is a veteran-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit supporting military veterans, first responders, caregivers, and families through sustainable agriculture, farm-based learning, peer connection, and practical resource navigation.
Your gift helps create opportunities for people to learn useful skills, reconnect with land and community, strengthen farm businesses, and build more resilient futures through agriculture.
Community support allows At Ease Orchard to offer low- to no-cost programs, host learning opportunities, build partnerships, and connect veterans and first responders with practical next steps in agriculture.
Donations help support education, events, outreach, farm-based learning, resource navigation, and the day-to-day work of serving veterans and families.
Farm tools, beekeeping supplies, safety gear, educational materials, and appropriate equipment donations can help strengthen programs and support hands-on learning.
Gift baskets, farm products, services, auction items, sponsorships, and hosted events help raise funds and bring more people into the mission.
Farmers, educators, business owners, tradespeople, and community members can support the work by teaching, mentoring, volunteering, hosting, or sharing practical skills.
At Ease Orchard also welcomes conversations about practical support for veteran farmers, including equipment needs, replacement tools, adaptive equipment, farm business assistance, and local partnership opportunities. Financial gifts, in-kind donations, raffle items, volunteer time, professional expertise, and hosted events all help move this work forward. Donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. To discuss an in-kind donation, volunteer opportunity, event partnership, or specific farmer support need, please email joericker@ateaseorchard.com.
Legacy Giving
Your commitment to those who served can continue for generations.
By including At Ease Orchard in your will or estate plan, you can help veterans continue to access agricultural education, farm business support, peer connection, and opportunities to build meaningful futures through farming. A legacy gift can honor a veteran, recognize a lifetime of service, or carry your own commitment to the military community forward.
At Ease Orchard supports veterans through agriculture, education, farm business development, farm-based programs, and connections to trusted resources and experienced people.
At Ease Orchard is committed to using every gift responsibly and with care. Legacy gifts can help sustain programs and services that continue supporting veterans well into the future.
At Ease Orchard can provide the organization’s legal name, mailing address, and federal tax identification number for your estate-planning documents. We would also be honored to learn whether your gift is being made in memory of a veteran or in recognition of someone’s service.
