The Agri-Tourist Podcast, my journey back to agriculture! Join me to learn from agritourism farmers & entrepreneurs & help me build my farm strategy!


On Agri-Tourist Episode #4 we hosted Shelby Watson
On Agri-Tourist Episode #4 we hosted Shelby Watson-Hampton, author of Grace, Grit & Lipstick and co-owner of Robin Hill Farm & Vineyards.  I was heading down to a wedding in SC and my 1st stop was Maryland. I always say that I want to visit and connect in person…and I really do mean it.  I reached out to Shelby to see if she would be available to meet at her vineyard.  She was available, and so were 10 other local farm women and entrepreneurs.  Shelby created an evening of wine, charcuterie, book discussion, connection and mini podcast interviews.  Next is a series of mini podcast interviews with some inspirational farm women. 

1. First up is Susan Watson White, co-owner of Robin Hill Farm & Vineyards and Shelby’s Aunt!  During Shelby’s interview, we spoke a lot about her Aunt and the leadership role she took on at the farm when her father/Shelby’s grandfather suddenly passed away. 
2. Next up is Tasha Dickerson.  She is new to Shelby’s farm group but not new to growing.  Many will relate to her story, her desire to get into farming, and her practical thinking about how she needs to approach this passion and journey.
3. Next you will meet with Mika Palmer who grew up in farming and now is part of her husband’s hay and straw business.  We sometimes just say that someone grows hay…but we don’t  stop to think about what that really means...it’s a lot more intricate than we make it out to be.
4. Amy Crone is the next interview.  Among the many things that Amy does, she is helping to feed Americans!  The need for what she is doing and the impact of what she is doing is extraordinary! 

Enjoy my conversations with each of these amazing women and check out next week’s episode for Part II of my visit to Robin Hill Farm & Vineyards! Click the link in the bio to listen to the podcast!

Shalom Farms is a nonprofit working together to bu
Shalom Farms is a nonprofit working together to build healthy communities by growing and sharing healthy food. The food they grow is distributed through their network of programs and partnerships in communities where access to healthy food is limited.

Shalom Farms is the evolution of the work of the United Methodist Urban Ministries of Richmond (UMUMR) which has a long history of social service work in Richmond VA. In 2009 UMUMR started a pilot project growing food on just half an acre at Westview. As the impact of the project quickly became clear, the organization decided to focus exclusively on food access work and eventually changed its name to Shalom Farms.

In 2016, they relocated their primary growing site to a larger, more accessible 12 acre farm in only 20 minutes west of Richmond. And they have since added a second five-acre site in Richmond’s Northside. This expansion has allowed them to evolve from distributing just a few thousand pounds of produce a year to local food banks, to a comprehensive range of food access programs and strategies that serve over 10,000 community members annually.

What makes Shalom Farms so unique is their focus on providing meaningful access to healthy food which is at the heart of everything they do.  So What does “meaningful access” mean?  We explore the meaning in my podcast interview with Änna Ibrahim, Executive Director of Shalom Farms. 

Anna’s diversity of career knowledge, experience, and exposure to food access and equity issues, led her to this unique role as the ED of Shalom Farms.  It was like the job was crafted just for her.  And her husband intuitively knew that as soon as he saw the job post!  Enjoy my inspiring conversation with Anna. Click on the link in the bio to listen to the podcast episode.

On podcast Episode #4 I interviewed author, vineya
On podcast Episode #4 I interviewed author, vineyard owner, and farm business guru, Shelby Watson-Hampton.  I told Shelby that I wanted to visit her vineyard one day!  I have a wedding to go to in South Carolina on June 7th and Maryland was a perfect half way point to stop for the night....and it was the perfect opportunity to try to visit Robin Hill Farm & Vineyards and meet Shelby in person!  Well, we did just that, last night!  And, as Shelby said, we made it a ‘thing’ - a ‘thing’ that involved a group of amazing women that are connected to farming in some way!  We all met at the vineyard, shared a glass of delicious wine, shared some inspiring ‘farming-related’ books, and I had the pleasure and opportunity to meet and interview each of the women that attended.  This special podcast episode will launch within the next few weeks...stay tuned!! Thank you Shelby - you are an amazing connector - which is definitely evident from your book, ‘Grace, Grit & Lipstick’!
