Recognizing Our Nation's Women Farmers March is Women's History Month, a time to commemorate the impact women have had on our society. In keeping with this year's theme of "Women Who Tell Our Stories", we share a few stories of women throughout the nation working in agriculture:  | | Visar Duane is an occupational therapist who has expanded her reach as a local source of quality produce through her multifaceted operation. She uses her operation to promote health and wellness in the local community. |  | | Meet Kendall Rae Johnson, the youngest certified farmer in Georgia. Kendall shows how she and other urban producers are using different methods to grow fresh food in areas where access to nutritious, locally grown produce is limited. |  | | Learn about how Andee and Lindsey Stevens revitalized Happy Hens Homestead in Booneville, Kentucky, turning their farm into a diversified and productive operation. |  | | Tiffany Cade of Deep Rooted Organics, has a passion for providing her community with produce that has fresh, local flavor. Find out what is at the heart of her passion for her certified organic farm in Westby, Wisconsin. |  | | Reformed suburbanite Carrie Chlebanowski talks about how she and her family moved to their 10-acre paradise and ultimately brought the Looney Farm to life. | More stories like these can be found on farmers.gov/blog, where you can meet farmers, producers and landowners who are working to improve their operations with USDA programs. |
