The Valhalla Project is a Veteran reintegration and homesteading education project founded by retired Special Forces LTC Gordon Cucullu and his wife Chris Fontana. Based in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas, the long term goal of the Valhalla Project is to become a completely self sufficient, permaculture based farm. It serves as a place for combat veterans and civilian wartime contractors to learn life skills, decompress, and transition back to a peacetime lifestyle.
Currently, Valhalla requires a Utility Vehicle for use as a workhorse and to transport Veterans with limited mobility around the 200 acre property, which operates year-round and sits on rough terrain.
