TALMAR Veterans to Farmers Training
VETERANS-TO-FARMER’S TRAINING:
TALMAR CERTIFIES FIRST VETERAN
TALMAR IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THE CERTIFICATION
OF ITS FIRST TRAINEE WILLIAM JOHNSTON AS A
BEGINNER FARMER IN SUSTAINABLE, ORGANIC
AGRICULTURE
TALMAR (Therapeutic Alternatives of Maryland) was pleased to celebrate its
first veteran who graduated from our 10-month USDA aligned curriculum for
Beginning Farmers, “Breaking New Ground." The course focuses
on veterans who are reintegrating into civilian life by training them in
an industry which largely parallels skills gained in military training.
Many of these veterans have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Farming, with
its rigorous schedule, physical activity and sense of purpose
is a fit for many former military personnel.
William Johnston received his diploma on Thursday, May 10, 2018 at TALMAR's non-profit farm in Parkville.
