CT Commissioner of Agriculture - CT State Troubadour - Women Farmers In Focus Pt. 1 with Jen Halfinger

Did you know 2026 is the International Year of the Woman Farmer? Connecticut has a lot to celebrate when it comes to our venerable women farmers, so we'll be connecting with the Commissioner of the state's Department of Agriculture to cover a number of related subjects - and to help us kick off our year-long series focusing on local women farmers.

Then we'll raise collective voices and introduce our new Connecticut State Troubadour. Besides learning more about him, we'll tap into all the creative ways he hopes to promote and provide musicians and songwriters with greater visibility, as well as ensuring these musical creatives are able to be so much more than starving artists when it comes to getting fairly compensated for gigs.

And, as promised, we'll bring you the first of our monthly 'Women Farmers In Focus' series promoting the International Year of the Woman Farmer getting to know the first of about a dozen Connecticut women farmers that For the People will be featuring throughout 2026. So put down roots for a few more minutes and enjoy a visit with Jen Halfinger of Halfinger Farms and Dancing Daffodils in Higganum!
