By Veterans, For Veterans
Mark and Carol Stevenson’s Veterans Urban Farm is a place for Veterans to benefit from the therapeutic, vocational, and recreational aspects of horticulture in a supportive, community-centered environment. The farm served as CCUA’s headquarters up until 2020 when it began serving Veterans.
At the Veterans Urban Farm, Truman VA Hospital Veterans have the opportunity to participate in vocational rehabilitation and recreational therapy programming. Program participants and community volunteers work to maintain the farm over the course of the growing season. Produce grown on-site is donated to local Veterans and used in health-focused programming at the VA Hospital. Community events and volunteer workdays on the farm create a healthy space for Veterans to gather and build community.
