Our Story

Homestead of the Brave was founded on a simple belief: those who serve our communities deserve healing that honors their strength, builds on their skills, and restores their sense of purpose.

Too many veterans and first responders face invisible wounds—PTSD, depression, isolation, and loss of mission. Traditional therapy helps, but many need something more: a community that understands, work that matters, and skills that build self-sufficiency.

We created Homestead of the Brave to provide that path. By integrating group therapy with practical homesteading skills, we offer healing through action, connection through shared purpose, and hope through tangible accomplishment.
