BRWIA's Founding Mothers,
​ 
Then and Now

Picture
THEN: Owner of Mollie's Branch Farm

NOW: The Farm at Mollie's Branch Farm is no longer a working farm but Diane's heart remains full of the stories created along the way. And now she is committed to documenting those stories and writing a book about her adventures at The Farm at Mollie's Branch. ​


Herstory...

When conversations arise about the beginnings of Blue Ridge Women in Agriculture, the name Diane Price is a constant.  Owner of Mollie’s Branch in Todd, North Carolina, Diane played a significant role as one of the founders writing the first grant awarded by Z. Smith Reynolds. The grant allowed the organization to expand and with it began a strong foundation in which Blue Ridge Women in Agriculture continues still today.  In 2005, Diane spoke of her role as one of the founders, “I guess I see my role as someone who wants to be involved in the process and I think there are so many good women involved in it now that is has taken a life of its own, and we can all learn from each other and support each other.”  

More of Diane's story coming soon!
