The South Carolina Chapter of Farmer Veteran Coalition is a nonprofit organization with over 1,200 members dedicated to cultivating a new generation of farmers and food leaders and developing viable employment and meaningful careers through the collaboration of the farming and military communities.
The mission of the Farmer Veteran Coalition of South Carolina (FVCSC) is to mobilize veterans to feed America.
We believe that food production offers purpose and opportunity as well as physical and psychological benefits. The Farmer Veteran Coalition of South Carolina serves military veterans of all eras and branches. We work with veterans, their families, employers and mentors to support those returning to or beginning careers in food and farming.
South Carolina boasts over 5,000 veteran-led farms, accounting for nearly 14% of all farms in the state. These veterans, seasoned in leadership and service, bring a wealth of experience to the fields. These veteran-led farms are often smaller than average, with roughly 122 acres compared to the state's average of 441 acres. Yet, their impact is far-reaching. They contribute over $416 million to the state's agricultural sales, demonstrating their significant economic contribution. These smaller farms often focus on diversified operations, producing a variety of crops and livestock, showcasing their adaptability and resourcefulness.
