DIGITAL EXCLUSIVE: New FarmHER episode premieres Thursday on RFD-TV Now!

Tennessee FarmHER Bridget Bryant’s porch garden evolves into a sprawling community outreach project that provides fresh produce to those in need and teaches urban kids how to grow their own food.

FarmHER is advancing its mission of highlighting women in agriculture. Not only is there a new episode of Dirt Diaries out today—but we’re also announcing the show’s first-ever FarmHER Digital Exclusive Episode!

This all-new, bonus episode of FarmHER features Tennessee FarmHER Bridget Bryant, who turned a porch garden into a powerful community mission, growing fresh food for those in need. Ahead of the premiere, Bridget stopped by the studio to chat with us and share a sneak peek of the episode!

In an interview with RFD-TV’s own Tammi Arender, Bridget shared her family’s history in farming and the inspiration behind Zysis Garden, located just outside of Nashville. While on set, she also explains the significance of her farm’s partnership with the Nashville Food Project, the importance of community outreach and advocacy for agriculture, and her upcoming annual event, Self Love Fest, in September. She also discusses what it was like to have the FarmHER crew follow her around for the day and shares some takeaways from her episode.

Ways to Watch

Part 1 of her episode premieres Thursday, July 17, at 2 p.m. ET on the RFD-TV Now app. You can also watch each segment on the FarmHER + RanchHER YouTube!
