I used to raise Corriedale sheep and at this time of year I really get to missing them. I miss being a farmer, albeit a pretend one, and I miss the nurturing coo a mama ewe gurgles over her new lamb.
Now, ten years into self-employment, let’s say I’m a farmer of a different kind—one of design and words. For farmers. This is fun too. Especially because I come across so many interesting people and places.
Here on the web:
- Today is National Agriculture Day and we celebrate those who provide us our abundance of food
- March is also Women’s History Month—even in agriculture, women’s contributions have been invaluable
- I’m starting a new project for Soil Sisters, a celebration of Wisconsin’s women-owned farms
- FarmHer—love, love, love what this photographer is doing
- Empowering women in ag: “When women flourish, families and communities do too”
- From farm to table, Food Justice Certified keeps everyone in check because, in our hearts, we do want fairness for all
- Written by the same woman who directs Food Justice Certified, this book helps Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) achieve economic viability
Happy Ag Day! Thanks to our farmers!
Love to hear from you!
