MOSES' In Her Boots: Sustainable Farming for Women, By Women is offering 3 workshops this fall to educate and help women farmers.

While the number of farms has been on the decline for many years, the number owned and operated by women is on the rise – up nearly 30 percent according to the last USDA Census of Agriculture. The Rural Women’s Project, a venture of the Midwest Organic and Sustainable Education Service (MOSES), supports these new women farmers through its In Her Boots: Sustainable Farming For Women, By Women, workshops.

These day-long, on-farm workshops provide women farmers and food-focused business owners with an inspiring blend of practical information, skill-building, farm tours, resource connections and networking opportunities to encourage and support this growing segment of organic farmers, entrepreneurs and agricultural leaders. 

The In Her Boots workshops for 2012 are:

Aug. 11 – Hilltop Community Farm (LaValle, WI)

Aug. 17 – The Bridge Between Retreat Center (Denmark, WI)
