On Sunday, September 22, Anne Devin gave the Sunday keynote speech, "United We Grow: Veterans in Agriculture" at the Common Ground Fair. In her keynote, Devin discussed how her military experiences have been helping her and her family navigate farming as a lifestyle and business. She also laid out their vision of developing a veteran-to-farmer transition program and how the community can help support its local veteran farmers.
