Maryland Public Television to showcase female farmers

Recent federal governmental statistics from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service reflect that the country has 1.2 million female producers. In Maryland, agriculture is the number one commercial industry.

In the documentary Food, Fiber, & The Female Farmer, the lens is widened to view the authentic perspectives of six extraordinary women who preserve and sustain food sources while planting the seeds of change for future generations.

In celebration of the upcoming National Farmer’s Day weekend, Food, Fiber, & The Female Farmer is set to premiere on Maryland Public Television on Sunday, October 13, at 6:00 p.m. Then, on Thursday, October 17, it will be broadcast at 10:00 p.m. on MPT2/Create.
