CALL OUT MISOGYNY

Rural women face discrimination at home in access to programs and in commercial services. Women farmers and entrepreneurs often are mistaken for hobbists or not real farmers or business owners by urban consumers at farmers markets, CSAs,  and our places of business.Yet the most growth in sustainable practices is among women. 

This program will help rural women navigate the various programs and services and provide support in access. We will also generate materials and list resources that help neighbors, customers, and ourselves see the contributions of women.
