Comments
“Overall I learned so much I feel empowered to run a farm business”
“All of it was good. There wasn’t a day I didn’t learn something”
“Meeting other farm women and learning together from Annie’s Project but most of all realizing that we were privileged to be part of the concept that finally farm women have been empowered.”
