2010 Woman of the Year in Agriculture
Hofer was honoured with this award for her contributions in the area of agriculture and demonstrating her commitment to and the advocacy for improving the lives of women and/or girls in her community.
“This event is about celebrating our successful women” said John Wilkinson, MPP Perth-Wellington. Award recipients were selected based on their level of commitment, leadership ability, and breaking new ground or old barriers. Ms. Hofer was specifically honoured for her commitment to develop and grow her ground-breaking company, Energrow that designs and manufactures farm-scale oilseed pressing systems that enable farmers to add more value to their crops.
