Join Renewing the Countryside again for a unique online series -- Women Farmers Aging Strong -- kicking off September 4 and running monthly through May covering a range of topics to help us preserve and protect our most important farming tool: our own bodies.
These sessions continue a successful pilot to create such safe, supportive “Learning Circle” spaces for women-identifying farmers to share and learn together specifically on body mechanics.
Each month we will cover a different theme and topic, including both mental and physical health awareness along with a new movement exercise we’ll do together.
Register once and you will get reminders for each session. Come whenever you can or -- better yet -- come to all!
Free to attend. All sessions run on Wednesdays, 11-11:45 am CST.
Topics covered include:
Improving balance
Eating enough protein, fiber & healthy fats
Managing stress
Rest & recover
Continuing to farm as we age
All women-identifying farmers are welcome, wherever you are on your agricultural journey.
Pre-registration required and space is limited. Register here.
This series is a part of the Farm Labor Dashboard, providing tools and strategies to help small and medium-sized produce and diversified livestock farms make informed labor decisions. Partners include the University of Vermont and Renewing the Countryside with funding support from Northeast Extension Risk Management.
