Pioneering poultry farmer and CFA volunteer, Pat Bigham AFSM, is one of nine Victorian women featured in Women of the Land, a collaboration between Museums Victoria’s Invisible Farmer Project and Her Place Women’s Museum Australia.
In the 1990s, Pat and her husband Don, with Marven Poultry, started the first commercial free-range poultry farm in Victoria, which was the beginning of the Lilydale Free Range label.
