The New Cowgirl with Beth Robinette
How do new and first-generation ranchers find the hands-on knowledge and mentors needed to become successful? We’re increasingly seeing first-generation farmers and ranchers turning to agriculture as their chosen career. But what do you do when you haven’t been raised on the ranch? The New Cowgirl Camp fills the gap! Beth Robinette is a fourth-generation cattle rancher in Washington State. She is a co-founder and hosts the New Cowgirl Camp, an intensive beginning ranching course for women. She shares how she finds ties to family legacy in her daily work, and how she is trying to build resilient systems.

Beth is the fourth generation of her family to work the Lazy R Ranch, where she raises grass fed beef and lamb with her dad, Maurice. Beth explored the intersection sustainable agriculture and business in her undergraduate studies at Western Washington University, and went on to earn her MBA at Bainbridge Graduate Institute, a small independent sustainability focused business school. She is also the co-founder of LINC Foods, a worker-farmer-owned cooperative food hub based in Spokane.
Beth became the first (and only?) second generation certified Holistic Management educator in 2015 after completing her training in Extremadura, Spain, with Byron Shelton. She has had the honor of teaching and studying holistic management in Turkey, Mexico, and throughout the United States.
Along with Sandy, Beth co-facilitates the New Cowgirl Camp and is excited about making future generations of land managers more resilient, vibrant, and diverse.
