Veteran Opportunity - Recruitment Day for Ag Education & Training

Join us at The Williamsburg Winery for a special Recruitment Day with Vet First, Inc., a one-of-a-kind nonprofit dedicated to supporting U.S. Veterans through agriculture, education, and community service. Vet First operates a working garden right here at the winery, where Veterans help grow sustainable, organic produce that is donated to local food banks.

This free, public event is an opportunity for Veterans to learn about a no-cost agricultural training and education program that offers hands-on experience, recognized training hours, and preparation for USDA- and NRCS-aligned credentials. Meet educators and community partners, enjoy light bites and refreshments, and discover how you can reconnect with service through land stewardship and meaningful work.
