Story with Jennifer Lawrence of Polymeadows Farm in Shaftsbury, Vermont. 
Farm Women, a Celebration of Beauty and Abundance, is a photo and story gathering project through Threshold Collaborative, with women farmers, sharing and celebrating the Strength, Beauty and Abundance of our Farms and the Women who work the land.
"Farm Women" is a collaborative creation between women who farm, artists, photographers, story gatherers, and the community. We believe that women who farm have inspiring, powerful stories and images about their lives, their farms and the food they produce. We feel that these stories and images will be appreciated for their inherent beauty as well as inspiring to the next generation of women farmers.

Alisa Del Tufo
Founder, Threshold Collaborative
I have worked to support justice and to strengthen empathy throughout my life. Raising over 80 million dollars, I founded three game changing organizations: Sanctuary for Families, CONNECT and Threshold Collaborative. In the early 1990’s I pioneered the use of oral history and community engagement to build grassroots change around the issues of family, and intimate violence. With Threshold this work has been honed so that we can partner with and teach an array of participatory strategies that address social challenges in ways that ignite empathy, inclusion, insight and impact. My innovations have been recognized through a Revson, Rockefeller and Ashoka Fellowship.​
