“When you come to a new country and start a farm, you have to start from scratch and build your network. By getting involved in the Agricultrices de l’Estrie and Agricultrices du Québec, I was able to meet inspiring women and make new friends I can rely on. My involvement has brought me personal fulfilment, and I am learning so much from the organization.”
