JOIN THE MISSION!

Ground Operations is an award-winning documentary film and social action campaign that champions the growing network of combat veterans who are transitioning into careers as sustainable farmers, ranchers and artisan food producers. Let’s help them get started and build their resources, so that veterans can create healthy new lives for themselves and delicious food security for communities across America. Ground Operations screening events feature farm-fresh food, the film, farmer-veteran speakers and a robust conversation about local food and farming.

There’s nothing like the healing atmosphere of being in the outdoors, working steadily, improving one’s little patch of earth, providing healthful products in a poison-free environment, and interacting with happy customers.  Your video puts it all together in a neat and inspirational package

THE NEW NORMAL

The New Normal opens a window to the world of the combat veteran caregivers – the young wives, mostly. Set amidst the lush landscapes of Hawaii, and fueled by the community’s spirit of Aloha, Emily Emmons learns how to be her disabled husband’s advocate as they live with a decidedly ’new normal.’ Together they’ve started a non-profit, Ho’ola Farms, a food-forest farming project that is open to other veteran families and the wider Hilo community.

Ho’ola Farms has used this 7-minute DVD to educate, market and fundraise for their agro-ecological non-profit. Let Walk Your Talk Productions produce your story … and share your work with the world?

RESOURCES FOR VETERANS

There are valuable resources for veterans interested in farming and ranching to support them whether they are just beginning or already a seasoned pro. Programs are available specifically to support veterans accessing training, financing, business development, job placement and education.
