Wright oversees the care of the animals, marketing, and operations of the family’s KFB Certified Farm Market, which offers customers fresh produce, pumpkins, flowers, and seasonal goods.
Wright’s dedication to agricultural education has been a defining part of her career. Wright spent 13 years teaching agriculture and advising FFA students at Seneca High School in Louisville before becoming an Agricultural Education Consultant and State FFA Advisor with the Kentucky Department of Education.
In her current position, Wright supports agriculture teachers and students statewide, leading programs like “All in for Ag Week” and the Raising Hope grant initiative to promote agricultural literacy and youth engagement.
Wright also coordinates community outreach events such as petting zoos, classroom visits, and “Animals for Learning,” which provide hundreds of children with hands-on experiences in agriculture. Her work continues to bridge the gap between Kentucky’s farming communities and urban audiences.
“Being named Farm Woman of the Year is a tremendous honor. This award means so much to me and my family because farming and teaching have always been at the heart of who I am," said Wright.
"It reflects not only our work on the farm, but also the importance of educating the next generation about where their food comes from and how we care for the land and animals that sustain us. I’m grateful to Kentucky Farm Bureau for its continued commitment to supporting farm families and agricultural education across our state.”
This year’s runners-up are Jennifer Poole of Daviess County and Tess Caudill of Mercer County.
