The OSU Small Farms Programs hosts four Women Farmer Networks throughout the state.
The League of Women Farmers, Southern Oregon
The League of Women Farmers provides women farmers with opportunities for business networking, expanding knowledge, and socializing in a supportive, open environment.
The League of Women Farmers was the first of OSU's Women Farmer Networks. It began in October of 2007 and since then they have hosted welding classes, pruning workshops, and seed exchanges- always accompanied by a delicous potluck. Follow them on facebook.

Willamette Women's Farm Network (WWFN), Mid to Southern Willamette Valley
Sharing. Learning. Growing Together. We are a community of women from central and southern Willamette Valley of Oregon, that are actively engaged in farm and ranch activities. We join together to further our knowledge of farm and ranch related issues both in the market place and in agricultural practices. We are working together to enhance our economic self-sufficiency through shared experience, resources, and visions of how our farm work will impact ourselves and our community. We will provide each member a safe, supportive environment and opportunity to learn safety and lawful practices regarding farming/ranching that promotes responsibility, profitability and conservation of the land.
The WWFN started in November 2008. They keep in touch through an e-mail list-serv and gather together for hands-on learning, farm walks, knowledge sharing, and socializing.
