Women’s Conferences
Join us for one of our Annual Women's Conferences - or both!
These conferences are about food, farming and beyond, from connections in community to the science of our farms.
Let's celebrate the Ladies Who Ag!
Join us for two exciting Montana Farmers Union’s Women’s Conferences where we will work on building new connections, community, and celebrate together.
Malta - Jan 31 - Feb 1, 2025
Eastern Women’s Conference, meet Megan Torgerson!
Hailing from the windswept Great Plains of Dagmar, Megan Torgerson is a writer, a farmer’s daughter, and the founder of the narrative podcast series, Reframing Rural. Reframing Rural does the much needed work of challenging stigmas about rural places by uplifting working people, history, and culture that don’t always get the spotlight.\
Megan holds an MFA in Arts Leadership from Seattle University and a BA in English with a creative nonfiction emphasis from the University of Montana. For her work producing Reframing Rural she has received numerous awards including the inaugural Public Humanities Fellowship from Humanities Washington. In 2023, her episode detailing the emotional weight of farm and ranch succession was named a finalist in the impact category by the international audio festival, Third Coast. After eight years living out of state, Megan returned to Montana in 2023 to further her mission of advocating for rural and agricultural communities through media production and nonprofit consulting. She currently lives in Bozeman with her husband Andrew and their son Connor.
