In this episode, we start to dive into the experiences of the farm families themselves. We begin with the female founders – those in the position of transitioning the farm to the next generation. These female founders play the role of owner, mom, mediator, peacemaker, problem solver, facilitator, translator, and managing partner. How do you balance all those roles and have your own voice heard? How do you map out a farm succession plan and still have family dinner together? This episode explores the pride, investment, and joy these founding females have in their family farm.
