Valor Farm’s COO on Infrastructure

Infrastructure is the backbone of every community-building project. In this case, it becomes the cornerstone of the very delivery of the life-saving quality of life we offer our Patriots. The lights, electricity, fresh-water, septic systems, and wells empower our patriots to relax, enjoy our cooking, and celebrate the joy of being together in a healthy, safe, isolation-free neighborhood.

September marks the completion not just of our first homes, but all supporting infrastructure for the first village. It’s awesome to see the lights burning at night, and  we expect to enjoy clean running water, and flushing toilets by month’s end. The months that follow will see eco-friendly rainwater retention systems, 2 miles of roads improvements, and thousands of boards replaced to offer safety to equine therapy and cowboy training programs. We must never take all these things for granted. While they are not always visible, they are every bit as important to our Patriots as all the buildings and programs. We are so very blessed to all of you that have helped get these systems in place both for today and into the future.
