When you think of Tampa, Florida you picture white sandy beaches, a bustling downtown, the Rays and the Buccaneers … and goats? Nestled near the heart of the city is a sanctuary and urban farm with a unique name and approach: The Dancing Goat. Meet FarmHer Pam Lunn, a goat farmer who left corporate America to start her farming business. Pam creates carefully “cultured” products, like yogurts and cheeses, that she sells at local Farmer’s Markets. Pam and her husband call it a labor of love and just make enough money to keep it all going. And it is a haven for FFA kids who get “hands-on” experience as they pursue careers in agriculture and veterinary science. FarmHer is working to change the way people perceive a farmer by sharing the stories of the women who live and lead in agriculture. Women have always been an important but mostly unseen aspect of agriculture. In recent years, women are rising to the forefront of agriculture in so many ways; as owner/operators, landowners, workers, mentors and much more. FarmHer was founded in 2013 to begin to change the image of agriculture – to include women in that image through photographs and stories. It quickly became clear that women in agriculture not only appreciated FarmHer, but they needed it. And they asked for more. Today, FarmHer has grown into not just a gallery of images that are changing the way people perceive a farmer, but also into an online community built just for women in agriculture. This community is a place where this imperative group of women can experience stories about others like them. A place where they can connect with and learn from others in a safe and positive environment. A place where women rise to the forefront of agriculture. FarmHer premieres 9/9 at 9:30 PM on RFD-TV.
