Women from throughout the state are invited to Annie’s Project event, a transformative two-day retreat dedicated to fostering connections, sharing knowledge, and  empowering women passionate about agriculture.

We are excited to invite long-time, beginner, and  future farmers from both urban and rural areas to join us for this inspiring event focused on  collaboration, growth, and empowerment.

The Annie’s Project Retreat is being offered by the U of M Extension Women in Ag Network in  partnership with the Friends of Frog Tree Farm, located north of Wadena, on Saturday Sunday, September 21-22, 2024.

Annie’s Project is for any farmer or rancher looking to understand  farm management and decision-making topics better. Annie’s Project is designed to empower farm  businesses in today’s complex, dynamic world of agriculture.
