The Homegrown By Heroes Label

The Homegrown By Heroes (HBH) label is the official farmer veteran branding program of America. The label serves to inform consumers that agricultural products donning the logo were produced by U.S. military veterans.

National Stakeholders Conference

Each year we bring the farmer veteran community together for two and a half days of distinguished speakers, expert panels, educational tracks and networking. We provide scholarships for travel and lodging for veterans to attend our national conference which takes place in a different city each year.

History

When FVC began in 2007 we could find no groups with the mission of helping veterans in agriculture. We have led this effort ever since.
