Editor’s note: This article is the first in a series featuring women who are serving as conservation coaches for Wisconsin Women in Conservation. The Wisconsin collaborative effort is led by the Michael Fields Agricultural Institute in partnership with the Wisconsin Farmers Union and Renewing the Countryside, as well as the Midwest Organic and Sustainable Education Service, with support from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service. The group brings together women landowners to connect and learn about conservation practices, resources and funding opportunities.
ATHENS, Wis.—Stacey Botsford and her husband, Tenzin Botsford, own and operate Red Door Family Farm, a certified-organic diversified farm near Athens. Conservation is a cornerstore of their farm, she said. She’s lending her experience in farm-conservation practices as a coach for Wisconsin Women in Conservation.
