Veterans First Harvest Program — The First Harvest Belongs to Those Who First Served
Veterans First Food Program
Every season, before anything else, we set aside the freshest produce from our farm for the men and women who served our country. No cost. No conditions. Just gratitude.
What Is the Program
Fresh Produce. Delivered with Honor.
The Veterans First Food Program is our promise to the community that served us. McMillian Farms exists to improve the health and well-being of veterans by increasing access to fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables. Through our Veterans First Food Program, the first harvest is reserved for those who first served.
Each season — spring, summer, and fall — registered veterans receive a fresh harvest basket filled with whatever we've grown: tomatoes, peppers, greens, herbs, fruit, and more. Delivered to your door or ready for pickup at the farm.
"The first harvest belongs to those who first served."
