Ep. 9 - "Helping Veteran's with PTSD through sustainable farming" with Colton Campitelli from Abby's Acre Farm.

In this month's episode of The Herbal Journey podcast, we visit with Colton Campitelli from Abby's Acre Farm. A veteran run non-profit sustainable urban market garden that provides fresh local produce to the community. It is a place for veterans to come together to find the support they need for PTSD and other mental health conditions through their coffee for vets events and volunteer farming opportunities.

Today's guest is a friend we met from our travels in Louisiana. A military veteran and former US Navy helicopter search and rescue swimmer and EMS rescue responder. After years of service he found himself at a loss of what to do next with his career, after being diagnosed 100% disabled and knowing that he could no longer do the same career he was trained to do and had done for several years.

Gardening had been a part of his family life since he was a kid, and he didn't realize the impact it would have on his own life and healing, nor the impact it would have on his fellow veterans. He helps with his non-profit for veterans sustainable urban garden, Abby's acres. Abby's acres began to want the same camaraderie and responsibility through service he felt working with others to accomplish a mission, but this time the mission was mental health and helping veterans like himself, who suffer from PTSD symptoms and other mental health issues.

We are honored to have Colton Campitelli from Abby's acres farm in Lafayette, La with us today to discuss his story, his challenges of running a sustainable farm, and his mission against the fight for mental health awareness and PTSD for veterans of all services, discharge status, disability ratings, and age. Abby’s Acre farm is a place where veterans can come together, find support, learn and experiment with sustainable agriculture practice
