The Associated Women of NHFB

The Associated Women of the New Hampshire Farm Bureau Federation began in 1923 as the “Home and Community Welfare Work of NH Farm Bureau.” Abbie Sargent of Hillsborough County was the first chair-woman of this group and in 1934, the first President of the Associated Women of the American Farm Bureau Federation.

Women of any age are encourage to participate in the Associated Women of New Hampshire Farm Bureau. Monthly meetings are held on the first Thursday of the month. Remote access to meetings can be made available to accommodate participants. Meetings are a great way to learn first-hand about our state’s agricultural diversity.

The objective of the Associated Women is to create interest in, knowledge of, and desire to improve world relations, government, education, health, safety and standard of living as they impact the farm and rural communities. The group also cooperates with maintaining the objectives of the NH Farm Bureau Federation.
