In her interview this Thursday on RFD-TV’s Market Day Report, Megan reflected on her experience being featured on FarmHER, including what it was like to have a film crew on-site and the community’s response to seeing her story on television.

We also got a sneak peek into what viewers can expect from her upcoming Dirt Diaries episode. Megan discussed a recent milestone for her farm—a grant from the Farm to School Program, which has allowed them to expand and better serve local schools with fresh, homegrown produce. She emphasized the importance of showcasing women’s stories in agriculture and shared what she hopes listeners will take away from her episode.
