Yesterday was National Farm Worker Appreciation Day, and in true farming fashion, many of us were too busy farming to post.

So today, the New Jersey Farm Bureau Women’s Leadership Committee wants to take a moment to recognize and thank the incredible farm workers who help keep New Jersey agriculture moving.

Behind every farmer is a team of dedicated people working long hours, often behind the scenes. They plant, prune, harvest, feed livestock, repair equipment, load trucks, work packing lines, stock farm markets, and do countless other jobs that make it possible for fresh, local food to reach our tables.

Agriculture is truly a team effort, and farm workers are an essential part of that team. Their hard work, dedication, and commitment deserve to be recognized not just yesterday, but every day.

To every farm worker across New Jersey and beyond—thank you. Your work matters, your dedication is appreciated, and we are grateful for all you do to help feed our communities.

Happy (belated) National Farm Worker Appreciation Day! ❤️🚜🌱

Who inspired your love of agriculture?

Behind every farmer, educator, advocate, veterinarian, ag professional, or supporter is someone who took the time to teach, encourage, or simply believe in them.

Maybe it was a parent or grandparent who showed you the value of hard work. Maybe it was an FFA advisor, a teacher, a neighbor, a fellow farmer, or someone who took you under their wing and helped you find your place in agriculture.

Leadership isn’t always standing behind a podium or holding a title. More often, it’s found in the quiet moments—sharing knowledge, lending a hand, answering questions, and encouraging the next generation to keep going.

Here at the New Jersey Farm Bureau Women’s Leadership Committee, we believe those moments matter. Agriculture is built on people helping people, and those lessons are passed down one conversation, one season, and one generation at a time.

So today, we’d love to hear your story.

🌱 Who inspired your love of agriculture?
🌱 Who taught you your work ethic?
🌱 Who made a difference in your life that you’ll never forget?

Give them a shout-out in the comments! If they’re still with us, tag them. If they’ve passed on, we’d be honored to hear their story and celebrate the legacy they left behind. ❤️🚜

Just doing an end-of-July check-in with everyone.

Sorry I’ve been a little quiet lately. I don’t think the planets and my Oura Ring are aligning very well. 😂 It’s been one thing after another this year, and from every farmer and farm family I’ve talked to, it seems we’re all feeling it.

But we’ve got this. We always do.

So here’s your reminder to take a few minutes for yourself. Grab a cup of coffee… or a glass of w**e. Sit on the porch. Watch the sunset. Take a deep breath.

Need to vent? Call a friend. Call one of us. We’ve got you.

And if you can, just say, “Frick it,” for one evening. Call another farm wife, woman in agriculture, or friend and go grab dinner for a couple of hours. The chores will still be there. The fields, barns, office work, paperwork, and never-ending to-do list will all be waiting when you get back. But you need that mid-summer reset.

We spend so much time taking care of our farms, our families, our businesses, our employees, and everyone around us that we often forget to take care of ourselves.

So consider this your permission slip to take a break, even if it’s just for an hour or two. Fill your own cup—you can’t pour from an empty one.

Hang in there, ladies. Summer isn’t over yet, and neither are we. We’ve got this. ❤️🚜

🚜 UPDATE: I promised I’d stay on top of this… and here’s the official response.

Many of you have reached out with questions about the recent cyclospora outbreak, and I promised I would keep asking questions until we had something official to share.

Today I received this letter from New Jersey Secretary of Agriculture Ed Wengryn.

The key takeaway:
✅ No New Jersey-grown produce has been identified as a source of cyclospora cases.
✅ No produce coming from New Jersey farms has been linked to this outbreak.
✅ The NJ Department of Agriculture and NJ Department of Health continue to monitor the situation and will keep the public informed if anything changes.

As farmers, we always recommend washing your fruits and vegetables before eating them—whether they come from your own garden, your local farm stand, or the grocery store. It’s simply good food safety.

I hope this helps put some minds at ease. Thank you to Secretary Wengryn and the New Jersey Department of Agriculture for getting this information out so our farmers have something official to share with customers.

And as always…
🌽 Know your farmer. Know your food. Support local. ❤️

Feel free to share this post so others can see the official guidance from the New Jersey Department of Agriculture.

Heat wave is coming!

Doesn’t it seem like just a few days ago we were talking about frost and how to protect our crops? Now we’re talking about a heat wave and how to protect our crops, ourselves, and our animals! That’s farming… and that’s summer.

I know everyone is busy and running in a hundred different directions right now, but please remember to take care of yourself too.

💧 Drink plenty of water.
🌱 Take short breaks when you can.
👨‍🌾 Check on your employees and coworkers.
🥤 Have cold water available for customers in case someone starts feeling overheated.
🐄 Make sure your livestock have constant access to clean, fresh water and shade whenever possible.
🤝 And don’t forget to check on your neighbors, especially those working outside.

We’ll get through this one too, just like we always do.

With heat index values expected to reach 110°F, this is more than just “summer weather”—it’s dangerous. Stay safe, stay hydrated, and take care of one another.

Today we celebrate , commemorating June 19, 1865, when the last enslaved African Americans in Texas learned they were free—more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

Juneteenth is a day to honor freedom, reflect on our nation’s history, celebrate resilience, and recognize the importance of creating opportunities for all. As women in agriculture, we are committed to fostering strong, welcoming communities where everyone has the chance to learn, lead, and thrive.

Agriculture is for everyone.

This Pride Month, the New Jersey Department of Agriculture is hosting “Unity in Diversity” at Fairgrown Farm in Pennington. The event will feature a farm tour, breakfast, and a panel discussion highlighting the experiences and contributions of members of New Jersey’s agricultural community.

No matter your background, agriculture is strengthened by the people who choose to grow, raise, educate, and advocate for our industry.

For event details and registration, see the flyer below. 🌈🚜🌱

Today is National Child Labor Day, a day that recognizes the movement to end child labor and create protections for children in the workforce—unless, of course, you’re a farm kid!

So today, we’re turning that history into a positive and giving a huge shout-out to all the farm kids out there doing the jobs their friends wouldn’t even know where to start.

From morning chores before school, to feeding animals in the rain, to missing events because a fence needs fixing in the back pasture, farm kids show up and get it done. They learn responsibility, work ethic, problem-solving, time management, and the value of hard work long before most adults do.

It may not always seem like it now, but the skills you’re learning every day will take you far in life—whether you stay in agriculture or choose a different path.

So here’s to the farm kids: the gate-fixers, hay-stackers, calf-feeders, tractor riders, vegetable pickers, and chore-doers. Agriculture’s future is in good hands because of you.

Keep up the great work. We see you, and we’re proud of you.

📸 Drop a photo of your farm kid in the comments! Let’s celebrate these hard-working kids who are out there kicking butt and taking names every day.
