New agricultural group set up for Harrogate district women
A new social group has been set up for local women who live and work in the world of agriculture.
Flock Ladies, founded by Rachel Bain, invites women who have some involvement in the farming industry to get together and socialise.
Ms Bain told the Stray Ferret the new group is for people of “all sorts of backgrounds” and said it is not limited to those who live on a farm.
She said:
Flock Ladies will host monthly meetings, during which members will visit farms, attend workshops with gamekeepers, host socials, fundraisers and listen to guest speakers.
When asked why she set up the group, Ms Bain said:
She said the group plans to meet on the last Thursday of each month. Flock Ladies does not have a fixed hub, Ms Bain said, adding that this is due to the group wanting to “get out and about to visit places”.
Ms Bain added:
A Flock Ladies membership costs £30 per year, plus £2.50 per meeting.
The group accepts women aged 18 and over.
