    Being Yourself is the Best Self You Can Be

    In pride month and every month, we at FarmHer believe being yourself is the best self you can be. Be who you are. And love who you want to be. Whether you are a part of the LGBTQ+ community or need advice on how to be a better, more supportive ally, this Nationwide Everybody Eats podcast is for you because love is love.  Both of our guests are “Cultivating Change", literally as members of the Cultivating Change Foundation. Cultivating Change Foundation’s mission is “valuing and elevating LGBTQ+ agriculturists through advocacy, education, and community.” Our guests, Lydia Noyes, and Skyler Allison do just that. Take a listen as we learn more about their FarmHer journey, what they do for the foundation, and their advice on being a supportive member or ally to the LGBTQ+ community.
