WAgN has been providing education and technical assistance geared to the needs of women farmers since 1995. We work with established, beginning and aspiring farmers. Through a series of educational, technical assistance, and networking opportunities, WAgN works to increase the number of women owning and operating profitable farms and ag-related businesses, as well as their profile in leadership positions throughout the agricultural sectors of business, government and community.
