About an hour and a half southeast of Atlanta more than 20 acres of farm land offers a safe haven for veterans with PTSD.

Comfort Farms in Milledgeville was created by Army Vet Jon Jackson. He started the agri-therapy program in hopes of helping fellow veterans ease back into civilian life.

Jackson completed six combat tours and some memories left him with post-traumatic stress syndrome. He says he almost took his own life after returning home.

Jackson says if you want to see a change in your circumstance, you have to be that change. So he created Comfort Farms.

"The unfortunate perspective amongst the general civilian population towards veterans suffering from PTSD is that if their wounds aren’t visible than they must not need treatment," he says.

“The best way to help our veterans dealing with PTSD is to assume that just because you can’t see a problem, doesn’t mean they aren’t struggling.”

He adds, “The invisible wounds are often the deepest. Don’t wait to hear from them that they are struggling. Assume they are and adjust yourself accordingly.”

Jackson named Comfort Farms after his Army Ranger friend, Kyle Comfort, whom he served with in Afghanistan. Comfort was killed in action May 8, 2010 in Afghanistan.

Comfort Farms is located off Horace Veal Road in Milledgeville. Veterans from all over can come to the farm to help plant fresh produce, raise farm animals and learn culinary techniques.

He says they plan to expand and have about six to eight Comfort Farms all across the state. The farms are funded by donations.
