Steph joined us on episode 6 of the Humans of Agriculture podcast in April 2020. It's fair to say since then, quite a few things have changed!
The last time we chatted, it was all things Tas Ag Co, what was back then a new venture and business opportunity for Steph and their husband Sam. What we didn't even mention once was 'Motherland Australia' the charity and organisation Steph has created that is having an extensive impact right across Rural Australia.
Steph's now a household name, the 2024 Tasmanian Australian of the Year, 2022 AgriFutures Australia Rural Women's Award National Winner, and founder and CEO of Motherland Australia.
Motherland is a national charity that advocates for the emotional well-being of rural mothers in Australia and delivers services that help build resilience and improve mental health outcomes.
In this episode, we catch up on what's been happening since 2020.

What is Humans of Agriculture?
We're going behind the scenes to see and understand modern agriculture, because no matter whether you're in it or not, you probably don't know all the pieces to just how incredible, diverse and multi-layered agriculture is. We do this by uncovering the real stories, experiences and voices of modern agriculture.
