Today, we salute Army Veteran Stephen Robinson. In the Army, Stephen managed logistics as an Army convoy commander in Iraq. Since leaving the service, he has found a new passion that has helped him find purpose and helped him find his place in civilian life. Stephen is a mushroom farmer in New Jersey. He grows mushrooms, microgreens and flowers to sell to local restaurants and at local farmers markets. Stephen is a growing number of Veterans turning to growing, and now he is on a mission to help other Veterans realize the benefits of urban agriculture. Thank you for helping others grow Stephen and THANK YOU for your service.
