The American Farmland Trust
the stories of Female Farmers in Massachusetts

Although 43% of U.S. farmland is co-owned or farmed by female farmers, farming is still typically seen as a male space. As a part of their national Women for the Land initiative, the American Farmland Trust commissioned this project to give voice to female farmers and their unique experiences across the state of Massachusetts.
