One woman’s Facebook group has had a huge impact on helping tackle loneliness and isolation in the countryside and made her a heroine to thousands of women across the UK.

Chloe Williams, founder of the Facebook group ‘The Crazy Life of a Farmer’s Wife’ knows all too well what it can be like to feel alone.

“I had a lot of connections with the countryside but didn’t come from a farming family so when she married a farmer, Ben Williams, it was quite a hard transition,” explains Chloe.

“Although I worked as a nurse to begin with, Ben did long hours on the farm and I was living in a new setting where I knew very few people.

“After having my son I was suddenly hit again by how lonely and isolated I felt. Although I went to baby groups, I found it difficult to meet and make friends with people who understood farming and what being married to a farmer meant.” Click here to read the full article on The Business Barn >>>
