But make no doubt about it, the resurgence of small farms in the Roaring Fork Valley is coming largely on the backs and biceps of women.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Rock Bottom Ranch in the Emma area has an all-female team of six working its fields and livestock pastures this year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Two Roots Farm co-owner Harper Kaufman hired two women to prepare soil, plant seeds and young plants, weed and harvest land leased from Pitkin County Open Space and Trails near the Emma schoolhouse.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Entrepreneurs such as Vanessa Harmony are finding ways to cultivate their passion for a niche in agriculture into a business. Harmony hopes to turn a sidelight venture selling fruit trees and eligible perennials into a full-time job.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">\u201cJust the idea that women can farm is new to our psyche in America even though women have been farming forever,\u201d Kaufman said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">The Edwards native got interested in farming while attending the University of Montana.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">\u201cAfter college I really wanted to go somewhere where I could get my hands dirty,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">She also believed in agriculture\u2019s ability to ease climate change through practices such as carbon sequestration rather than contributing so much to carbon emissions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">After first working at a farm in Northern California, she landed at Rock Bottom Ranch where she served for two years as agriculture manager. That solidified her desire to get into farming on her own. She and Christian LaBar, her life and business partner, started Two Roots Farm. They rented land for two years in Missouri Heights, then earned a 10-year lease from Pitkin County at the fertile Emma property last year. They grow vegetables on 3 of the 22 acres they lease and have expansion plans in mind.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Kaufman, 27, said she loves their decision despite \u201chard work, low pay and risky business.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">\u201cMy understanding of farming has definitely evolved,\u201d she said. \u201cI came into it with a lot of naivety.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">In the Roaring Fork Valley and an increasing number of areas around the country, farming isn\u2019t economically viable because of high land costs. Initiatives such as Pitkin County Open Space\u2019s purchase of land to preserve agriculture will be vital for the future of farming, she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">\u201cIt\u2019s such small margins and such hard work,\u201d Kaufman said. Any number of factors \u2014 drought, hail, pests \u2014 can \u201creally cripple a farm.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Nevertheless, she\u2019s encouraged that farming is attracting a lot of young, passionate newcomers and that many of them are women. She estimated that 80 percent of applicants for job openings at Two Roots are women. She senses greater interest among women in connecting to food and learning where it\u2019s coming from.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">\u201cEven at the farmers\u2019 market, we tend to sell to women,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Barsanti, 27, visited Rock Bottom Ranch four years ago and was impressed at how welcoming it was to the public.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">\u201cMost farm tours attract little kids and school groups,\u201d she noted. Rock Bottom Ranch, owned and operated by the Aspen Center for Environmental Studies, encourages people of all ages to study its sustainable farming procedures. Barsanti ended up volunteering to help in the gardens on her first day. She parlayed her interest and volunteerism into a full-time seasonal job in spring 2016 and became agriculture manager in December 2017.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">She is responsible for overseeing growing vegetables and greens on 2\/3 of an acre and in various greenhouses on the property. She also oversees the ranch\u2019s pigs, laying hens, meat chickens, bees, sheep, lambs and cattle grazed in a partnership with Cap K Ranch. That means making sure they are properly fed, rotated among different pastures and kept safe from predators and disease.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">She is assisted by Mariah Foley, the lead staffer on vegetable production, and Jen Ghigiarelli, the livestock and site lead. Three seasonal workers are also women this year. Jason Smith is the overall manager of the ranch.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">They work 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on any given day, but setting up a farmers\u2019 market booth on summer weekends requires starting at 6 a.m. and harvesting \u2014 everything from pulling carrots from the dirt to trimming off leaves of baby lettuce and kale \u2014 extends some days until dusk.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">\u201cIt\u2019s definitely hard and tiring and taxing,\u201d Barsanti said. \u201cThere\u2019s days in the summer that I just want to collapse after work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">The work attracts people who are passionate about farming, she said. It\u2019s not a job you take on a whim or if you\u2019re looking for easy work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Part of Rock Bottom Ranch\u2019s mission is to inspire young farmers and help teach them skills needed for their own pursuits. The ranch didn\u2019t aim to create an all-female team this year, Barsanti said, but there were more and better-qualified female applicants in this year\u2019s crop.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Barsanti believes women possess many of the traits and qualities necessary to be a good farmer \u2014 intuition when an animal is sick, for example, and a nurturing, caring approach to life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">\u201cYou\u2019re taking care of hundreds of living things,\u201d she said. \u201cThat\u2019s a big responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Women aren\u2019t exactly unicorns when it comes to farming and ranching. A recent New York Times article cited U.S. government data that showed 14 percent of the 2.1 million farms in the country had a female proprietor. Kaufman, Barsanti and other observers believe the number of women in the Roaring Fork Valley farming community is substantially higher. Women, in fact, might be in the majority, they surmised.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Still, in an increasingly urbanized society, female farmers can still produce surprise. Barsanti said she\u2019s been on the \u201cwedding circuit\u201d lately, going to friends\u2019 nuptials around the country. Many old friends and new acquaintances are surprised and interested when they learn about her career.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">\u201cI say I\u2019m a farmer because I\u2019m proud to be a farmer,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Every year she spends in farming makes a future career change seem implausible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">\u201cI love the job and the lifestyle,\u201d Barsanti said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Foley was hired to lead vegetable farming at Rock Bottom Ranch this year. The Denver native said that by the time she graduated from the University of Denver a few years ago, she couldn\u2019t imagine working 40-plus hours per week at a computer in an office.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">\u201cI love working with my hands. I love being outside,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Foley was involved in some ag-related pursuits in college \u2014 providing advice on where the university bought its food and founding a community garden. Most of the people involved in the efforts were women, she said. The joke was they were the seventh sorority on campus \u2014 Alfa Alfa Asparagus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Foley is now in her seventh year of working in some type of agricultural operation and fourth year in it full time. She has witnessed that farming is attracting a diverse spectrum of people who are interested in knowing where their food comes from and passionate enough that they want to get involved in growing it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">\u201cFarming isn\u2019t just a redneck profession,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Like Rock Bottom Ranch, Kaufman is working to encourage people to get into farming. She founded the collaborative Roaring Fork Farmers &amp; Ranchers five years ago as a resource for people to share ideas and resources.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">\u201cFarming is hard enough,\u201d she said. \u201cWe don\u2019t need to be competing and keeping secrets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Kaufman said the number of farming-related, start-up businesses that have sprouted in the Roaring Fork Valley in recent years has encouraged her. Women head many of them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Vanessa Harmony, a self-described \u201ctree hugger,\u201d horticulturist, arborist, edible plant enthusiast and mulch fanatic, gave up a career in the pharmaceutical industry when she realized her heart was in permaculture design and forest gardening, specifically with edible, perennial plants. She pursued apprenticeships to gain new skills and worked at the Central Rocky Mountain Permaculture Institute in Basalt for three years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">She\u2019s started her own nursery in the Roaring Fork Valley and consults with people on planting fruit trees and shrubs, grapevines and edible perennial plants. (She can be reached through her business website at coloradopear.com.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">\u201cPeople are often surprised at all the fruits we can grow in the mountains,\u201d Harmony said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">For some women, starting a business isn\u2019t what enticed them to get into farming. Emma Geddes left a 15-year career as an educator to work at Two Roots Farm this year. She said she is excited to learn outside of four walls and connect with the community in a new way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">\u201cI\u2019ve always been interested in living simply,\u201d she said. \u201cI love working in the outdoors. I love the calmness of mind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Mikensi Romersa this spring earned a master\u2019s degree in environmental science and natural resource journalism from the University of Montana then promptly headed to the Roaring Fork Valley to be a farmer. She befriended Kaufman and LaBar as an undergraduate in Montana, then visited them when they operated Two Roots Farm on leased land in Missouri Heights. All through grad school, she couldn\u2019t get her mind off getting back to the farm. She arrived two weeks ago for a summer of work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">\u201cI\u2019m hoping that it\u2019s indefinite,\u201d Romersa said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Her education included broadcast journalism, so she sees an opportunity to tell the stories of farming and farmers through documentaries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">\u201cIt could be real impactful for all involved,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Over the last month, Geddes enjoyed the opportunity to get involved in all aspects of the farm and working with the seasonal cycles. Working outdoors has been challenging this spring because winter held on for so long. Still, it brought its rewards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">\u201cI just get excited to watch things grow,\u201d Geddes said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">That includes her muscles. Weeding and planting all day \u2014 requiring strenuous lifting, twisting and maneuvering \u2014 can be demanding, Geddes said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">\u201cWe joke that people pay good money (at gyms) to do what we do,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Shirttail\"><a href=\"mailto:scondon@aspentimes.com\">scondon@aspentimes.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspentimes.com\/magazines\/aspen-times-weekly\/female-farmers-are-fueling-ags-resurgence-in-the-roaring-fork-valley\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: The Aspen Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rock Bottom Ranch Agriculture Manager Alyssa Barsanti stands at the entrance to the ranch owned and operated by Aspen Center for Environmental Studies.Anna Stonehouse\/The Aspen Times Rock Bottom Ranch Agriculture Manager Alyssa Barsanti fixes a fence on the Ranch on May 23.
