Military veterans transition to farming, on Real Virginia

Featured this month on Real Virginia, Virginia Farm Bureau’s weekly television program:

  • Some military veterans are applying their learned skills to start new farming careers.
  • Microgreens are becoming more popular among farmers market customers.
  • More home gardeners are cultivating full-flavored muscadine grapes for jams, juices and other products.

November’s first episode can now be viewed on the Real Virginia YouTube channel. The second episode, which is scheduled to premiere Nov. 15, also will be available on YouTube.

Real Virginia airs nationwide at 3:30 p.m. on the first Saturday of each month on RFD-TV on Dish Network and DirecTV, and on selected cable outlets around the state. It airs weekly on WBRA digital channel 15.2, WHRO Norfolk, WVVA Bluefield and WTKR Norfolk, and on the first and third weekends of each month on WVIR Charlottesville, WHSV Harrisonburg and WRLH Richmond.
