Shaping The Future.

Welcome to Women In Ranching

This is a community and a support network for anyone who works with, cares for, or feels called to the land. Together we connect, educate, inspire, and grow as a diverse community of women in agriculture.

Gather With Us

We’re inviting you to join us, here’s a good place to start.

As the world changes and rural America with it, at its heart, WIR is fostering our future leaders and we believe that women are worth our investment. Allowing for women who already serve their land and communities generously, to step fully into their leadership in a way that can only happen through the collective support of community, will ultimately lead to a better world for all of us. The work we are doing at WIR is in service to the best possible land stewardship, diverse and engaged rural communities, and a resilient future.

Women In Ranching is for

You, your mother, sister, aunt, grandmother, daughter, neighbor, friend. Our goal is to create a space that feels safe for anyone who is creating a space for themselves in agriculture. WIR is for anyone who feels called to cultivate a reciprocal relationship with the land and surrounding community. If this speaks to you, we welcome you at Women in Ranching.

Our Community

Who We Are

Women in Ranching is expanding its reach with a core belief that investing in women means investing in thriving rural communities, improved land stewardship and increased collaborative and creative approaches in agriculture.

WHO WE ARE

What our community is saying

“Women in Ranching offers a love that enlarges freedom; in that freedom, women find permission, room for emergence and an increased sense of agency. Participants in our Circles often voice a sense of being imposters at some level, we are out to help them rewrite that narrative.”
-Sarah
"There is something transformative about having the opportunity, the time, and the place to deeply listen to others whose dreams you resonate with, as well as relating to the challenges that are unique to our work. Each time I have returned home from a WinRs Circle, I have re-found clarity and a set of skills, more finely honed, to manage my resource base better and to be fully open to its influence on me."
-Renee
“The work of Women in Ranching has greatly impacted my life. Ranching asks us to have an intimate relationship with the land. This relationship and connection often brings up past trauma and challenges that we are not trained to navigate through. I have been a part of this circle for four years now. It is my support network. If I need advice on navigating the many facets of our families life and work this is the group I call on for an ear, advice, resources and love. I have three daughters and I want them to grow up in a world where the voices of women leading from a deep intuitive connection to the Earth are the voices they hear.”
-Caroline
“Women in Ranching is not just about women, and not just about ranchers. It's about answering the calling of “how do we belong to the land?” and “how do we belong to each other?”
-Erin
“The womxn involved in land management in our country already have purpose. The whole story resides naturally within them; and these gatherings lend durability to the ledger of their daily work. If we have any hope of transforming the grief-stricken histories of our public and private lands, cycling them back into self-sustaining systems, then these circles are an agent for that goal -- a harmonization that ripples out at a landscape level. It is nothing short of an explicit investment in stabilizing the voices of the feminine archetype during this time when no greater task exists.”
-Becca
