An Online Series, Led by Women Farmers

Aging Strong— a special women-led online series for information, support and resource sharing to help us preserve and protect
our most important farming tool...ourselves.

Topics covered include:

Improving balance -- both body and farm life
Eating enough protein, fiber & healthy fats
Managing stress
Rest & recover
Continuing to farm as we age

All women farmers are welcome to attend, wherever you are on your agricultural journey.
