The Female Farmer Project™  along with KRCREative Strategies Studio 

Their stories have gone untold — until now.

In the fields and barns across America are the stories of farmers — the talented, tenacious stewards of the land who have grown our food for generations. But while agriculture is the foundation of our civilization and the backbone of our nation, the story has only been half-told. Depicted through the eyes of men, the history of agriculture in the United States is incomplete. We are missing our heroines — the women who have farmed, who have loved the land, who have sacrificed and made immeasurable impacts on farming and food in America.

Through the voices of their daughters and granddaughters, we journey across America to meet these foremothers. In this uniquely matrilineal retelling of America’s history, we celebrate the accomplishments and contributions of women in agriculture.

Audra Mulkern, founder, writer, and photographer for The Female Farmer Project™, hosts the story. Her work has been featured, published, and exhibited globally, and has been a James Beard Award nominee. Kara Rowe of KR Creative Strategies is an Emmy award-winning studio with nearly 20 years of experience in national, regional, and local media projects.
