What is FarmHer?
FarmHer is about connecting with and shining a light on women in agriculture. Women who love the land, care for their community, and feed the people.
As those in agriculture know, farming and ranching is not one size fits all. From the field to the classroom and even the boardroom, women in agriculture bring a unique and enthusiastic perspective to the equation.
Since its beginning in 2013, the brand has featured over 350 FarmHers and operates a diverse set of media offerings including television, photography, events, social media, blogs and podcasts.
Each month, over a million people interact and/or experience FarmHer’s presence in their lives. To learn more about FarmHer, please sign up for our weekly newsletter.

Chelsie is the creative behind the brand’s online presence. A natural storyteller, she shares the lives of FarmHers with our audience in the forms of social media, blog posts, and digital campaigns.

When she’s not cultivating ideas online, you can find Chelsie cheering on the Kansas City Chiefs or spending time with friends and family.
