Cultivating Community Through Flowers

March 03, 2026

In honor of Women’s History Month and the United Nation's International Year of the Woman Farmer 2026, CFANS is proud to spotlight alumnae who are driving innovation and resilience across our local and global agrifood systems. These women exemplify the essential, yet often unrecognized, roles that farmers play in nourishing our communities and securing a sustainable future for all.
