Ep 49: Shepherdess - telling stories about women and the land with Kristy McGregor, Editor-in-Chief

from Blue Shed Diary · host PGG Wrightson

For stories for and about New Zealand women who work the land, look no further than Shepherdess magazine. Each season, the publication delves into the lives of provincial women who play a unique role on their farms and in their communities. Six years ago, Kristy McGregor started the Shepherdess Instagram page to bridge the isolation gap that many in the primary sector feel. Now, 24-editions later, the magazine is celebrating its 5th anniversary and is fully entrenched in the urban and rural landscape. Joining the conversation is its creator, Publisher, and Editor-in-Chief Kristy McGregor. She lives with her partner and three children on a dairy farm in Manakau. Besides being a busy mum, magazine publisher, and more -- Kristy is also finalising the plans for The Shepherdess Muster. The three-day festival dedicated to celebrating the lives of rural women coming this March.
