Through their platform, farmers will be able to access:
  • Irrigation supplies, seed suppliers, farm equipment, education and farm schools, fencing and building, and much more.
  • Events and trade shows, online webinars and our farm blog.
  • Our Global Farm and Market Finder. Eat fresh and eat local.
  • Share your stories and support Women Who Farm Campaigns.
Their ultimate goal is to help raise funds for small-scale farmers, start up costs and to support women who farm around the world.
