About Comfort Farms:

STAG VETS INC created the nation’s first Acute Veterans Crisis Agriculture center, Comfort Farms, named in honor of United States Army Airborne Ranger Captain Kyle A. Comfort, (KIA, May 8, 2010).

Their premier location currently prepares veterans and students for careers in sustainable food production that integrates economic profitability, environmental stewardship, and healing through the use of a developing model of Agro-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and time-tested organic holistic approaches.

The facility also serves veterans in acute situations where time and help are of the essence. It features a short-term stay at our lodges donated by Georgia Manufactured Housing Association (GMHA). Through their monthly donors and annual sponsors, Comfort Farms has been able to provide the resources to offer shelter and peer-to-peer therapy to veterans and their families to regain strength and re-boot for everyday life and a fulfilling future.

Since its inception, Comfort Farms has provided crisis services for hundreds of veterans. With the support of the USDA through agricultural grants, Comfort Farms has provided services to several hundred veterans and their families. The popularity of CF programs has reached several countries resulting in thousands of visitors from the U.S. and other countries.
