This paper examines the dominant discourses utilized by 21 farmwomen with children in three regions of Canada in relation to their talk of household food provisioning. We define food provisioning as the acquisition, preparation, and consumption of food that draws on personal, family, and community resources and supports. Farmwomen expressed their position as gatekeeper of the family meal through traditional gender role discourses. Feeding their families was constructed as a task that determined the health of their family members; it reflects the dominance of a healthism discourse wherein being "healthy" is the desired end that is constructed to be under the control of the individual (mother/wife). Farmwomen's description of farming practices relied heavily on the dominant discourse of food safety/risk avoidance, which they used to justify a protectionist orientation to agriculture. Although uniquely positioned to express a dual consumer/producer role, farmwomen instead spoke of an individualistic orientation to health as consumers, and employed system-oriented discourses of the food safety system as producers
