Nature demands a gift for everything that it gives, so what we have to keep doing, is returning back to the soil, then we're continuously giving the gifts to nature, because we have a return cycle.

Calling all Veterans: You can use your GI Bill and Vocational Rehabilitation dollars towards this program - this NEW mission - to remain in service and help heal your internal wounds.

On this veterans day I want to unveil a project that has been years in the making. As a veteran when I think of our service, I think about the desire each one of us has to serve for a greater purpose than ourselves. When we get out of the military we can sometimes feel lost because that sense of purpose does not envelope is everyday.

My idea to turn Comfort Farms into an agro-culinary educational center has received its first phase of funding through a very Competitive Grant and I'm pleased to share that this January we will start the first classes. AG TECH TO SUCCESS is an Agricultural training Program that awards 17 credit hours upon completion that will give you real world training and experience in the field of small scale intensive agriculture and the Culinary world.

If your a vet near middle Georgia looking for a new career in the practical application of Ranching, Farming and Small Scale intensive agriculture... Sign up immediately with the link provided below. This course allows you to use your GI BILL and Vocational Rehabilitation dollars. In addition it's also open to non vets and allows for the use of the PELL Grant.

We created a wonderful Partnership with Central Georgia Technical College, Fort Valley University, Georgia College and the Vectr Center to bring this critical and timely training to central Georgia... Designed by Veteran Farmers for Veterans and Future Farmers who want to succeed in the agriculture and culinary industries.

We are also looking for corporate sponsors to assist with helping us reach our annual goals that involves scholarships, funding to build on site lodging and the development of a practical smart Farm to help the Disabled become enabled.

Thanks to everyone that continues to support this vision and mission. We could not do it without you.
