I know today is a quiet day on the internet. Most folks are enjoying a meal, traveling, or taking a breather from the usual routine while scrolling through Black Friday deals. So I’ll keep this short.
I just want to say thank you.

Thank you for being here, for reading, for sharing, and for supporting Pride In Agriculture this year. 2025 has been the biggest year yet for this community with the widest reach, the most engagement, and the strongest sense of community since I started this work. None of that happens because of one person. It happens because people show up, share their stories, and help these conversations grow.
I’m truly grateful for every one of you.
And as we look ahead, I’m excited for what’s next. In 2026, I’ll continue this work with a full series of LGBTQ+ profiles highlighting real people in agriculture through their stories, experiences, and perspectives. If you’d like to be part of that series (or know someone who should), you can share your story here:

Whether you’re part of the LGBTQ+ community or an ally, your voice matters. The more stories we bring forward, the more visibility, connection, and understanding we create.

Wherever today finds you, be it around a table, on the farm, with chosen family, or taking a quiet moment with yourself, I’m grateful you’re part of this community.
Thank you for being here. We’ll keep building it together.
