It's International Women's Day AND March is Women’s History Month! and like always, we're celebrating women and their ambition to make an impact in today's world. I talked to Shannon Hauf, a woman who leads by example in agriculture by having a desire to always grow and evolve. She supports women every day in her role at Bayer Crop Science as Senior Vice President and Head of Seed Production Innovation and challenges you to ask, what are you doing to support women?

A Christmas Giving Spirit All Year Round

Listen in how Jen Welch at The Crowded Acre takes local bacon (and more) from pig to plate with a nose-to-tail dining experience in her farms own food truck. During this episode, Jen shares how farmers can be successful on small farms and how the Welch family has grown up alongside The Crowded Acre's chickens, ducks, pigs, goats, and more. Note: The Bearded Lady has closed since filming this show, but the hard work, determination, and love that went into it remains.

A Food Truck Fueled A Local Farm

In pride month and every month, we at FarmHer believe being yourself is the best self you can be. Be who you are. And love who you want to be. Whether you are a part of the LGBTQ+ community or need advice on how to be a better, more supportive ally, this Nationwide Everybody Eats podcast is for you because love is love.  Both of our guests are “Cultivating Change", literally as members of the Cultivating Change Foundation. Cultivating Change Foundation’s mission is “valuing and elevating LGBTQ+ agriculturists through advocacy, education, and community.” Our guests, Lydia Noyes, and Skyler Allison do just that. Take a listen as we learn more about their FarmHer journey, what they do for the foundation, and their advice on being a supportive member or ally to the LGBTQ+ community. 

Being Yourself is the Best Self You Can Be
