Steven Acheson is an Iraq war veteran from Blanchardville, Wisconsin. After his honorable discharge from the military due to an injury, he started Peacefully Organic Produce, a certified organic produce farm with the mission to grow healthy food for his community and to employ and train veterans to farm organically. In 2016, his war injuries made it impossible to continue vegetable farming, but he continues to advocate for veterans and farmers, and recently co-founded the South Central WI Hemp Producers Cooperative, helping growers in his economically depressed area of the state to leverage group power for buying seed and marketing crops.
