Dauntless Wine Tasting with Ben Martin, winemaker and and owner

Dauntless Wine Company is a veteran owned and operated craft winery with an explicit mission to help veterans rehabilitate and reintegrate through agriculture. Through our non-profit, , we award grants to veterans and their dependents who are, or are aspiring to be, farmers.

Why farming? Simply because the median age of farmers in America is 58, and two out of every three retiring farmers are not being replaced. Youth are not getting into agriculture; forcing family farms to sell off the family farm. Veterans are needed now more than ever to maintain food security for the nation. Soldiering and farming have been intertwined for millennia because both require hard work and attention to detail; while tending the land is perhaps one of the oldest methods of post-war therapy. Holistic farming is a perfect therapeutic and professional alternative for Veterans to find peace and a meaningful occupation.
