Farm School for Women is a program offered by the Buffalo Trace horticulture and ag & natural resource agents. The program is offered every year during the fall and usually consists of four workshops during the afternoon. The program was based upon Bracken, Fleming, Lewis, Mason, and Robertson counties' needs. We try to offer hands-on workshops and field days to make the program more interactive with each series. Typically we have between 20 to 30 participants; many of the same women attend the program every year as we try to expand topics and provide deep insight into farming techniques. The application covers the years 2019 and 2020; however, we have offered the program for many years and will continue to do so annually.
