As two sisters working on neighbouring properties in outback Queensland, they’ve spent long, hot days in blistering sun, battled climate extremes and felt the effects of the harshest conditions. You could say, it’s all part of the job. But something that shouldn’t be part of a day’s work – is skin cancer. From a frightening first-hand experience with melanoma, comes a delightful balance between practicality and fashion. FarmHER Hands launched in December 2023. The line of stylish UPF50+ gloves are now finding their way to farms across the nation. The founders of the business, Shona Larkin and Angie Nisbit join me now to discuss:

Living on neighbouring properties near Hughendon in North West Queensland and their favorite place on the farm.
Working with their hands is a vital when on the land and, the point for Angie that the condition of her skin was noticeable to others.
The dangers of the Australian sun and the damage caused by UV rays.
Shona shares her experience of a health scare after returning to the farm.
The experience of losing a friend to melanoma and how this planted a seed that we all needed to look after our skin more carefully.
The start of ‘FarmHer Hands’. https://farmherhands.com/
The feedback from the gloves and how they come up with their designs.
A lot more women are taking on careers in ag and, the women purchasing these items.
The beginnings of starting a business and managing the growth and scale of this business being run from outback Queensland.
What Angie and Shona are most proud of since launching.
The most unexpected thing to happen along the way.
The challenge of starting a business from a rural location.
The ultimate dream for FarmHer Hands.

We hope to see you back on the road soon, to learn more about how Australia grows on the next episode of Australian Farmers with Angie Asimus.
