What do Mary Pat Sass, Whitney Larson, Callee Pellett and Zoe Kent have in common? They are four farmers who are breaking the mold and sharing about life on the farm.
Whitney Larson admits she didn’t know where her food came from before she met her husband. But today, she’s sharing her journey to farm life as a way to help other women in agriculture cultivate courage.

Every decision Susan Weaver Ford makes is focused on family. She is the sixth generation to hold the reins of her North Carolina farm, and the first female.
The 2023 Executive Women in Agriculture Trailblazer Award will be given to a female producer who is a shining example for her peers.

From 2020 to 2021, Susan Weaver Ford gained 8,900 neighbors, as the population of her county jumped 4%. “I used to farm fields that now have 40 houses,” she says. “The city is meeting us pretty quick.”
