Our History 

Farm Women's Club began in 1948, when Farmers' Weekly launched the idea of a club especially for farmers’ wives. The aim was simple: to bring together women who often lived in isolated rural communities, creating opportunities to make friends and make connections for mutual support. ​

In 2008, the Club became independent with members coming together to form a volunteer management team. Thanks to their dedication, Farm Women's Club continues to thrive today, run by members for members.

That simple idea has stood the test of time. Women across the UK have been meeting regularly to enjoy good company, discover new places, learn new skills, and, of course, catch up over a cup of coffee and plenty of conversation. Lifelong friendships have been made, and our welcoming community has potential to grow.

Like many organisations, we adapted during the Covid-19 pandemic. While some clubs have returned to their traditional meetings, others now enjoy regular lunches, coffee mornings, or a mix of in-person and online activities. 

​

Some things may have changed over the years, but these never have:

​

  • A passion for rural life and our community.

  • The fun and laughter we share.

  • A warm welcome for new members.

  • The joy of catching up with old friends and making new ones.

  • An escape from the demands of modern life – for a few hours or even a few days!
