I thought we could use this page to get acquainted. My name is Jeanne and I am a rural woman with entrepreneurial desire, trying to fit a business into the hectic days of farming, household, husband, kids and elderly parent.
My passion for the farming industry and my interest in business has led me to found “FARMtasticWOMEN.com”. I want to provide a comprehensive resource of information and inspiration for all the rural women looking to reach their full potential through business ventures. Ultimately I dream of making enough money through selling products and services in the Western World to fund an outreach branch called “FarmtasticWomen United”, which will support rural women in Third World countries in starting up and developing businesses to create income for themselves and bring prosperity to their local area by offering them free advice and financial support.
What makes me think that I can possibly offer you any benefits in your pursuit for success?
Well, I have managed to make my way through an MSc in Female Entrepreneurship and I guess some of all that knowledge has stuck.
I have been involved in several small businesses on management level – including the farm business of course, but also within other industries.
I even have a claim to fame: Namely writing a motivational business book, which the late Sir John Harvey-Jones, former chairman of ICI endorsed.
By the way, that book makes up the fictional part of the e-course “The Inner Entrepreneur” available from my online shop….
I would love to hear about you, so please write a comment telling me a little bit about you and your hopes and dreams and if you are already in business, please share your website url with everyone.

Hi,
I am Nicky. I run a farm in West Wales with my husband, we have a suckler herd which has been in our family for 25yrs. I could not imagine a life without being involved in agriculture, I was first exposed to a herd of cattle at the age of seven and it has affected me for life!
I am working with a dynamic network marketing business called Ecoflow, supplying environmental fuel saving magnetic modules and Bioflow magnotherapy products offering Natural Pain Relief for people and animals. The latest product range is organic skincare. I am looking to expand my business both in the UK and Internationally and am currently seeking key team members. I am blessed to be able to work with positive people with a vision for the future. Do you have what it takes to be a team player? If so, let me know, maybe we could work together.
I am delighted to be part of Farmtastic women and I am looking forward to watching the development of this farmtastic project.

Hi
I’m Juliet Fay and I help rural businesses sell their products and services with words. I am a trained copy writer – I write sales text. Before you can write your content for a website, article, or online directory entry you really need to know what your customers are buying. From brainstorming sales messages, to training you and your staff in the dark arts of copywriting, to a complete writing service, whatever stage your business is at, I can help you find the words to help you sell online, in print or in person. See if I can help your business at http://www.julietfay.co.uk
I live on a small farm in West Wales and have also spent the last 12 years working with my husband and fellow adventurer, Steve producing and marketing, first organic vegetables, and then free range poultry. You can find Steve at http://www.welshpoultrycentre.co.uk
With 3 children and assorted livestock, I can’t imagine a better place to live and work…… (well the barn that I’m converting could be good for working, especially during school holidays!).

Hi Janette,
I found you on wireuk and am inspired by your website – what a great forum for women! I’m looking for UK experts in different fields relating to women, lifestyle and business growth and you are clearly providing a very valuable service and perhaps some of your members might be interested in the following…
I’m working with the The Women’s Information Network (WIN) look for radio show hosts (there is no cost) in UK. They are the Premier Media and Social Network for Women Worldwide http://www.theWINonline.com. (By the way, I’m British, now living in USA, but born and bred in Bristol!)
They have been very successful in building a presence in several countries and are now expanding to UK, NZ, Australia and Asia. Let me know if this is of interest to you, and also if you know others that you recommend (specifically in business, health, beauty, spirituality, parenting), since this is by invitation and referral and then there’s an application process. They want to keep their standards high.
To learn more about this great opportunity, email me, and I will happily answer your questions.
My email is rachel@senssoma.com
Blessings, Rachel
