  PGA HOPE: Free Golf for Veterans

  Sep 28, 202618 min

  In this episode of the American VetFarm Network Podcast , we’re joined by Tim Hubbard , an Army veteran and PGA HOPE Ambassador in Indiana. Tim shares how he got involved with PGA HOPE, why the program matters to him, and how it gives veterans a chance to learn golf, spend time with other veterans, and build new connections. One thing Tim makes clear is that you do not need golf experience to participate. Veterans can show up as complete beginners, and adaptive options are available for those who may need accommodations. We also talk about Tim’s role as an ambassador and how he is helping more veterans learn about PGA HOPE and get connected with programs in their own communities.

  In this episode of the American VetFarm Network Podcast, Kate Mudge, Co-Director of the Care Farming Network, explains what care farming is, how it works, and the different ways farms are being used to support health, recovery, vocational training, and meaningful activity.

  A Way Into Ranching: The New Agrarian Program

  Sep 14, 202625 min

  What does it actually take to get started in ranching if you didn’t grow up doing it? In this episode of the VetFarm Network Podcast, we talk about the New Agrarian Program, a paid eight-month apprenticeship that gives people hands-on experience on working ranches in the West. We cover who the program is for, how much experience someone needs before applying, what apprentices are learning on the ranch, and what kinds of jobs and opportunities can come afterward. We also talk about the different ways people can build a future in ranching without starting with land ownership. For veterans, service members, and military spouses who are interested in livestock or ranching but are still trying to figure out how to get meaningful experience, this episode offers a useful look at one possible path. The VetFarm Network is a program of At Ease Orchard. We help veterans, service members, and military spouses connect with farm and ranch education, one-on-one support, and opportunities across the country.
