The Female Farmer Project, The Podcast Interview: Mentors, Social Media, and Farming with Kelsey Jorissen

I recently had the honor of being interviewed by Audra Mulkern on The Female Farmer Project: The Podcast. Audra works tirelessly on The Female Farmer Project, a multi-platform documentary project that chronicles the rise of women working in agriculture around the world.  From in-depth stories, personal essays, photographic portraits, a podcast, and in-development documentary film, the project gives a powerful voice to the fastest growing demographic in agriculture - The Female Farmer.

In this episode we discuss:

• My background as an artist, filmmaker, photographer, and producer and how these skills have helped me on the farm.
• How we raise happy hens on pasture and use permaculture methods on our farm.
  
• The unseen side of farming (i.e. sitting at a computer desk!) and how important it is to devote this time to market your farm.
• How I learned to farm and some of my personal blindspots when it came to getting started.
