Women In Farming
The Women In Farming Network was created following requests from women living and working on farms and related industries.
Connection and support
Since forming in 2013, the Network has grown from strength to strength, providing opportunities for women to learn from each other, build contacts and offer support to their fellow members.
Many of the issues affecting women in farming/rural life, and business are shared by others. The Network has the spirit of collaboration at its heart, encouraging positive outcomes.
Our activities include organising and hosting various events to bring the community together, thanks to the kind support of partners and sponsors.
Events and staying in touch
Every year, we get together for an Autumn Gathering, which took place in 2025 at Lodge Farm, Cundall, North Yorkshire – full report here. The 2026 event will be held on Tuesday 13 October at The Garden Rooms at Tennants in Leyburn and more details will be announced in September.
Earlier this year, we held our inaugural Wellbeing Day at the Great Yorkshire Showground and hosted our Summer Social at the Great Yorkshire Show to celebrate the International Year of the Woman Farmer.
