Supporting the Next Generation of Somali American Farmers with Naima Dhore

Do you find yourself feeling alone living your Rural life? Are you searching for a community to be a part of? Have you been in the agriculture industry all your life or are you just starting out? Do you feel passionate about agriculture and have the spirit of a rural entrepreneur? Are you looking to be inspired by gutsy and resilient women in agriculture?


The Rural Woman Podcast™ is a storytelling podcast that shares interviews from women with a passion for agriculture and rural life. These women may not farm, ranch, or homestead the same but their passion and pride for the Ag industry builds a special bond.


City-slicker turned Farmer & Entrepreneur, host Katelyn Duban created The Rural Woman Podcast to celebrate and amplify the voices of Women in Agriculture. Katelyn brings a unique perspective to the table and strongly believes in the power of our stories.


You can expect to hear honest conversations from Rural Women who grow food, tend livestock, raise families, run companies and so much more. 


Tune in every Friday to hear a wide range of topics such as mental health in agriculture, advocacy, innovation, and leadership in Ag. Learn more and connect with us at WildRoseFarmer.com

Farm Kids Series: Ayla Hill

On this week's episode of The Rural Woman Podcast™, you'll meet Victoria Lee. Basil Ranch has been providing fresh herbs and produce to restaurants and grocers since 1996. Victoria took over the reigns in 2015 and saw an opportunity to grow the produce we were providing using hydroponics as a solution to food security in our northern climate. Their indoor hydroponic farm ran year round in the heart of Inglewood, providing fresh greens and mushrooms to local restaurants and grocers. Basil Ranch's goal was to contribute to the city's food security by using low tech, highly sustainable hydroponic food systems. In November of 2023, Victoria decided to scale back to the things that are near and dear to her heart and closed down the hydroponic farm to focus on the edible flower farm located in the heart of Highfield, on a City of Calgary Urban Farm Project.  For full show notes, including links mentioned in the show, head over to wildrosefarmer.com/198  . . .
