Pioneering Women in Agriculture: Challenges and Evolution

You have the hat. Probably in several colors. Because everyone has the hat. But when Amanda Merrow and Kate Baldwin set out to start Amber Waves Farm, they did not expect to be the creators of one of the most iconic fashion pieces of the past 10 years. In fact, they didn't expect to be many of the things they turned out to be, 15 years later. But here they are, and the small plot of land they ventured to farm in 2008 is now a thriving retail, educational, community center. Not to mention a thriving local farm raising beautiful organic produce. Join us as Amanda shares the stories of how Amber Waves Farm went from being a daydream of a couple of young, unafraid farm interns, to an internationally known producer of highest quality produce. And, as a bonus, you'll get to hear the story of that damn hat!!
