Hero Agriculture is hiring a Farming Mentor
We're hiring a part-time staff member to work directly with Hero Ag veterans. Are you a farmer who wants to help veterans build purposeful lives? A social worker who'd love to learn farming? Do you have other experience that prepared you to engage, inspire, and help veterans? This could be the next exciting step in your career.
I was not meant to be a farmer. I suppose I am someone who was once a paramedic and a soldier who now farms. Every morning I wake up and face the reality that I am no longer a medic or a soldier. Because of my injuries from Iraq, that is not an option.
Five years after I was injured in Iraq and the Army determined me unfit for duty, I went on a quest to become something, anything. My goal was simply to make it to tomorrow, sober, not in a prescription drug fog, and alive. It was then that farming found me.
Since that day, each day, farming saves my life.
—MSG (Ret.) Mike Reynolds, Hero Agriculture Founder & Chief Farming Officer
