New Limited-Edition Henhouse Reserve® Summer Berry Supplement Block to Fund Resources, Fellowships, and Training for Farmer Veterans Nationwide
UPPER SANDUSKY, Ohio, and WACO, Texas, June 2, 2026 – In a proud joint celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, Kalmbach Feeds® and the Farmer Veteran Coalition (FVC) today announced a national partnership to support military veterans transitioning into agricultural careers. Throughout the summer of 2026, a portion of the proceeds from every Kalmbach Feeds product purchased will be donated directly to the Farmer Veteran Coalition to support their mission of serving, empowering, and connecting military veterans and active-duty service members with the resources, education, training, and partnerships necessary to cultivate successful careers in agriculture.
“America’s 250-year anniversary is a time when we can celebrate those who have served our country and the ongoing resilience of the agricultural community,” said Aimee Koontz, Brand Manager at Kalmbach Feeds. “At Kalmbach, we are incredibly proud to support those who have served our country and are now choosing to feed it. Partnering with the Farmer Veteran Coalition allows us to turn our passion for high-quality poultry nutrition into tangible resources, educational programs, and professional opportunities for farmer veterans.”
To anchor the initiative, Kalmbach Feeds is releasing a festive, high-performance summer supplement designed to keep backyard flocks thriving. The limited-edition Henhouse Reserve Summer Berry block is an all-natural supplement made with premium whole grains, seeds, and vegetables, infused with a delicious summer berry flavor birds love.
Funds raised from proceeds of Kalmbach Feeds products will go directly toward FVC’s core programs, including the Farmer Veteran Fellowship Fund, Homegrown By Heroes label, educational workshops, and resources that help veterans establish financially viable farming operations. By providing capital, mentorship, and technical assistance, FVC helps veterans overcome the geographic and psychological isolation common to both transition and rural life, channeling their unique skills into strengthening national food security.
“Veterans bring a deep commitment to stewardship, leadership, and perseverance that strengthens the future of American agriculture,” said Jeanette Lombardo, CEO of the Farmer Veteran Coalition. “Partnerships like the one with Kalmbach Feeds help strengthen opportunities for veteran farmers and ranchers while supporting the long-term vitality of rural communities and American agriculture.”
Kalmbach Feeds will actively promote this initiative throughout the summer across its national dealer network, email newsletters, and social media platforms, raising awareness for the vital role farmer veterans play in rural communities. The limited-edition Kalmbach Feeds Henhouse Reserve Summer Berry block is available for a limited time at local feed retailers and online.
