LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa. – Farmers are a pillar of our society, but on Sunday, community members celebrated all the women farmers.
2026 is the International Year of the Woman Farmer.
Women farmers from all around the Lehigh Valley area gathered at Franklin Hill Vineyards to celebrate all they do for the community.
“I just feel so rejoiced that there are so many women in farming, and we got recognized,” said Elaine Pivinksi, co-founder of Franklin Hill Vineyards.
“It feels so good, and it’s only the beginning,” Pivinksi remarked. “You’re gonna see so many of us be elevated and elevate agriculture because this is land preservation.”
“It’s agro-tourism, and we’re going to be behind that all,” she added.
Pivinski says she hopes to keep gatherings like these going.
