Meet Tennessee Produce FarmHER Debra Lockard!

FarmHER Debra Lockard joined us Friday on the Market Day Report to discuss her upcoming show episode, which premieres on Tuesday, October 1 at 9:00 PM ET, only on RFD-TV!

This week on FarmHER, Kirbe and the crew head to West Tennessee to visit third-generation produce grower Debra Lockard on her family’s 94-year-old farm near Memphis — a legacy she hopes to continue.

Deborah is passionate about growing vegetables and greens and wants to share her knowledge. In addition to her role on the farm, Deborah teaches horticulture, hoping to educate her students about sustainable farming.

“Teaching agriculture as a horticultural teacher, I first had to become a master gardener,” she told RFD-TV’s own Suzanne Alexander. “Even though I grew up farming, there was still more to learn and share that information with students, from pre-K to young adult to adult. And it’s just so much to see how they grasp that knowledge, and they want to learn more about how to become sustainable and feed their family.”

Despite recently losing her uncle, she sees her appearance on the show as an opportunity to honor his knowledge and continue the family tradition of feeding families with fresh produce.

Watch this all-new episode of FarmHER featuring Debra Lockard when it premieres on Tuesday, October 1 at 9:00 PM ET, only on RFD-TV! Catch encore airings of the episode on Fridays at 9:30 PM ET and Sundays at 10:00 PM ET.
