Vital Roots Foundation

The last Friday of every month, the Long Beach VA hosts a Community Connection Hour from 8:00–10:00 AM, bringing together veterans, local nonprofits, and community partners.

This month was our first time representing Vital Roots Foundation, and we were honored to be part of it.

We shared a hands-on seed starting activity with veterans, and around 30 participants joined us to plant seeds, connect, and take home their own starter pots to begin their growing journey.

It was a beautiful morning of conversation, community, and connection — exactly what Vital Roots is all about. We were grateful to stand alongside so many incredible organizations serving veterans and to share our mission of cultivating healing, purpose, and community through nature.

Thank you to the Long Beach VA and everyone who stopped by our table. We’re excited to keep growing together.

This Memorial Day, the Farmer Veteran Coalition of California and our EVAS team pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our nation.

For many in our community, this day carries deep personal meaning. We remember those who never made it home, the families who carry their legacy, and the fellow service members who continue to honor them in their own lives.

As farmer veterans, we know that service does not end when the uniform comes off. Purpose, camaraderie, community, and stewardship continue to shape our post-service journey.

Today, we remember those who gave all — and we recommit ourselves to carrying their legacy forward through service, fellowship, and care for one another.

With gratitude and remembrance,
Farmer Veteran Coalition of California
