Originally from Maunabo, Puerto Rico, photographer JuanCarlos González moved from Boston to Woodstock, Vermont with his partner in 2019. They immersed themselves in the local community and felt very much inspired and at home. From 2020-2022, González photographed female farmers across the state. This project focuses on the meaningful and impactful contributions that female farmers are making to the state’s culture, identity, and economy—yet who may be overlooked in favor of their male counterparts. Especially women of color. For Vermont Female Farmers, González visited and documented 38 farmers. In photographing them at work during their daily life on the farm, González attempts to center their livelihood, labor, and passion. Each is different and has a unique story, working with saffron, goats, flowers, produce for fermenting, cows, and so much more.
