After retiring from the military, Patrick Montgomery became a farmer, and founded Valor Provisions.
It’s a direct-to-consumer online marketplace offering premium proteins from small independent ranches.
“Ranches owned by veterans are preferred but there’s not enough of them right now,” he said. “We have a chicken vendor we’re working to onboard that isn’t a veteran.”
Customers pay a one-time membership fee and receive access to the list of vendors, which as of May 2025 includes three operations owned by veterans.
