About Abi

Personally

I’m driven by a love and passion for families, communities, and the people often overlooked or unheard. Drawing on my roots in a fourth-generation farming and building family, 26 years on the land, life in a blended family, and decades supporting vulnerable people, I’m growing a movement that celebrates what truly brings families and businesses together, championing women, valuing uniqueness, fostering connection, and finding joy in the challenge of making it all work.
