This is a very special year as we celebrate our tenth year together with our biggest conference yet!

WHO SHOULD ATTEND Women and young women (high school age) interested in or involved with food, agriculture, natural resources, or small business are invited to attend. This one-day conference offers a fantastic opportunity to learn, share, and network with others. Connect with women who are navigating similar challenges, experiences, and opportunities in the world of agriculture and business.

 

This year’s program will feature 24 break-out sessions in 6 tracks including: Plants, Animals, Business & Marketing, Home & Family, Special Interest, and Personal Development. These informative and interactive sessions are presented by Ohio State University Extension educators, farmers, industry professionals, and partner agencies.

 

We are thrilled to have international speaker, author, and farm coach, Elaine Froese, at our conference this spring. She’s on a mission to guide farm families, across North America, to get unstuck, communicate better, find harmony through understanding, and secure a profitable farm legacy. Elaine is traveling from her home farm in Manitoba, Canada to speak with us! She will share a special keynote about Living an Intentional Life, will teach a breakout session to help tackle tough family conversations, and will have Coach on Call individual sessions available throughout the day. Every participant will also get a copy of Elaine’s book, “Farming’s In-Law Factor.” You can learn more about Elaine Froese at elainefroese.com .
