b'Lisa Kivirist\\n\\n\\n\\nThough this series on regenerative farming has covered a ton of different farming models, land management techniques, food production methods and design methods, one of the glaring absences in the perspectives I\\u2019ve included has been that of women, and I\\u2019m well aware of it. I did reach out to a lot of women farmers in an attempt to set up interviews, but many of them either didn\\u2019t want to be interviewed or were simply too busy to be able to schedule a call. I can imagine that with all of the nonsense and instability around the pandemic it must be really challenging for all farmers in the last 6 months. I was however finally able to get a hold of Lisa Kivirist, one of my favorite authors of homesteading skills and small scale farming. She\\u2019s the author of the farmstead chef, rural renaissance, ecopreneuring, homemade for sale, and the book that will be the center of our interview today \\u201csoil sisters: a toolkit for women farmers\\u201d\\n\\n\\n\\nShe\\u2019s also the host of the podcast: \\u201cIn her boots\\u201d which focuses on interviews with and about modern women farmers, which I\\u2019ve been a fan of for over a year now and highly recommend to anyone interested in farm stories and general advice in the USA.\\n\\n\\n\\nIn her extensive work helping to build support for women in farming and to create a community network of their peers that they can rely on, Lisa has helped to highlight the stories and experiences around the immeasurable contributions from women in agriculture and set stronger foundations for their continued success into the future.\\xa0\\n\\n\\n\\nIn this interview Lisa helps me to understand the complex history of women farmers in the US and the obstacles that they\\u2019ve had to overcome in the past as well as those that are still in their way. She also explains the unique talents and perspective that they bring to this fast changing sector along with the growing support network that they\\u2019re building together.\\xa0\\n\\n\\n\\nI\\u2019ve been a big fan of Lisa\\u2019s books for a while and her podcast is a really valuable resource too, but this book Soil Sisters really opened my eyes to the blind spots that I\\u2019ve had and that the farming industry at large has had to the essential role that women have played in advancing and strengthening farming through some of America\\u2019s toughest times.\\xa0\\n\\n\\n\\nResources:\\n\\n\\n\\nhttps://homemadeforsale.wixsite.com/freshbaked\\n\\n\\n\\nhttp://innserendipity.com/\\n\\n\\n\\nhttp://innserendipity.com/news/news.html\\n\\n\\n\\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisa_Kivirist'
