"Homegrown By Heroes" Label Brand for Veterans in Agriculture Businesses
The Homegrown By Heroes label (HBH) is the official farmer veteran branding program of America and is administered nationally by the Farmer Veteran Coalition. It certifies ranchers, farmers, and fishermen of all military eras to sell their products as veteran-owned and produced. The label informs consumers that agricultural products donning the logo were produced by U.S. military veterans, and it allows veterans to differentiate their farm and ranch products in the marketplace.
The Farmer Veteran Coalition was granted the honor of administering the “Homegrown By Heroes” program nationally on Veterans Day 2013. The “Homegrown By Heroes Maryland’s Best” program is available free of charge to Maryland farmers who have served in any branch of the armed services.
Eligible farmers interested in joining the program are encouraged to visit the Farmer Veteran Coalition website.
