As the wife of a career #Marine, Roxanne Reed has seen #PTSD and its impact on #families. She’s also experienced the calming effect that producing your own food can bring. In January, she and her husband, Ron, will begin opening their #farm in Clinton as a place where military #veterans can learn more about #homesteading and hobby farming. . The couple took part in the 2019 North Carolina Farm School, an annual NCState Extension program that helps new and aspiring #growers learn more about #agriculture. Its goal is to increase the state’s number of sustainable and economically viable farms. . When Roxanne and Ron started their farm, they knew little about raising #crops and #livestock. . If I had to try to figure this out without Farm School, it would have taken me at least three years to understand what we’ve learned in a few months through Farm School. — Roxanne Reed . #VeteransDay
