The Buffalo Trace County Area Extension Offices hosted their annual Farm School For Women Program in October 2022. The event spanned across all 4 Thursdays in the month and covered a vast array of topics from Small Berry Production, Lawn Management; Body Condition Scoring of Cattle; Vaccinations of livestock and Utilizing Social Media for Marketing Farm Products. Thirty-one ladies attended the first session of the program at Strodeberry Farm. Dr. Shawn Wright, UK Horticulture Specialists, discussed with the group production and tips for small berries and other fruits. Out of the 31 in attendance, 22 of them were Fleming County residents.
The experience at an on-sight location for the first session was a welcomed adventure for the group. 95% of the group stated that they enjoyed the Small Fruit program and was looking forward to the other sessions.
