Our mission is to; Create a thriving community where women in agriculture and women who live in rural, regional and remote areas can come together, share experiences, gain knowledge and support one another through the unique challenges and triumphs of living where we do.

Hello All,

I'm jumping on to say Hi and let you in on why I created Ladies on the Land.

My dream is to unite women from all Australian agricultural sectors—both water and land—along with ladies who live on the land. We’ve faced disasters, droughts, floods, bushfires and plagues in the last couple of years and I want to ensure we have ongoing connections, access to adaptive tools and a strong community we can rely on. With local Ladies on the Land groups, we create opportunities, giving Ladies on the Land the chance to connect, gather, learn and laugh together, locally and across Australia.

The past few years have been incredibly tough and I found myself struggling. What I'd forgotten is life isn’t about waiting for the drought/flood/plague/fire/disaster/event to pass, it’s about learning to dance (take new steps or adapt) in the dust/mud/eaten crops/ashes/new normal.

I don't want anyone to go through the tough times alone. So please, jump in, join in, invite your friends and envision what a local group might look like in your district.

Take care,

Kalen
