BRWIA is dedicated to empowering women and their families with resources, education and skills related to farming to overcome economic and social disparities that create barriers and make their children a population at-risk.
Based in Boone, North Carolina, BRWIA serves members across the High Country of the state.
Blue Ridge Women in Agriculture began as a grassroots project of Watauga County Extension by women tired of hearing "that can't be done." We are seeking to create working partnerships with groups who have related goals in agricultural endeavors, present entrepreneurial and sustainable agriculture workshops, and organize planning and research for a Community Food Assessment.
