I operate Twiddle Dee Farm. And, yes, I am the one who drives the tractor, builds the fences and buildings, tends to the flock, and does all the other necessary activities to make any small business...including a farm....to work. I appreciate your interest in Twiddle Dee Farm.
I hope to make this farm a destination for all those women out there who like to be engaged in life, who like to garden, who like to make good food decisions, and who will appreciate the attention to detail that this farm displays. We've done a lot to the farm during this transition to pasture-based farming. And there's more to come....lots, lots more!
So while we're implementing changes to the farm, I'd like to hear from you. If you have any suggestions about what you'd like to find or do during your visits to the farm, let me know. Simply shoot me an email. Thanks. And stay in touch!
If someone had asked me when I was younger what my idea of a farmer was, I probably would have recounted the image of my grandfather, even though both of my grandmothers also farmed. Probably most young people at that time would have described a farmer as being male.
Our stereotypes may be changing however. Young people of the future may just as quickly bring to mind the image of a female in farming, as they will a male image. Here's a National Public Radio presentation that you may find interesting.
