AG Women Connect,
America's Platform for women in Agriculture.

“AG Women Connect has been a breath of fresh air. When I first started on my Ag journey, I felt disconnected because I don’t have a typical Ag story, in fact, it’s still developing. Venessa and the rest of the ladies in AWC have welcomed me with open arms and supported me in my crazy dreams, reminding me that I can do it. It is rare to find a group of women who accept you as you are and are encouraging to see you grow. It’s more than just a networking group, it’s a safe space, it’s a sisterhood, it’s a sounding board, it’s a “welcome” that says, come as you are. If you’re not part of AWC yet, you should be.”

“The United States need a group where women in agriculture can connect, support each other, share our passions, and learn from each other. Venessa has done this with Ag Women Connect. Her hard work has paid off and the vision she has for this organization/ women in agriculture is so much more than we can imagine. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to speak at an Ag Women Connect meeting, to meet ag women in Texas, and to grow with this organization. I feel connected with this organization and have felt so much love from the women and from Venessa! Cheers to the future! We must stick together as Women in Agriculture as women are growing in numbers in agriculture.”

“These AWC Weekly Wellness Calls have been a piece that I didn’t realize was missing in my life. Networking is my favorite hobby, so of course I love the idea of connecting with other women in agriculture.. BUT the special part about these calls is the safe space to talk about the topics that typically get brushed under the rug and shoved deep down. Many networking events that I attend are very surface level and usually have an agenda tied to it. I meet a lot of fantastic people there, but this call is different. There is intention, encouragement, empathy, and a comfort that I haven’t been able to find before. Like I said, this was a really crucial piece in my life that I didn’t realize was missing. So thankful for this space and the frequency of this call.”
