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


So everyone should know my good friend Pattie Bake
So everyone should know my good friend Pattie Baker by now…author of Round America with a Duck and most recently Round Ireland with a Duck. Pattie has become such a dear friend and has encouraged me to continue trusting the journey…and so I have! It was Pattie’s inspiration that made me consider WWOOFing. (World Wide opportunities on Organic Farms) And when I thought about where I would want to WWOOF, Italy just popped into my mind….so that is where I put my energy…. researching farms throughout Italy from the WWOOF Italy website, and ultimately connecting with Gianfranco and Nino from Orto Infesta in Marsala Sicily. Like everything in life, we can’t know whether our WWOOFing selections will turn out the way we imagine in our minds. Obviously we end up painting a certain picture in our minds of farming in Sicily. There is always so much to consider when selecting a WWOOfing destination. And at some point, you have t just take the leap of faith and just go for it…and that is basically what I did during my WWOOFing journey. Upon returning, Pattie couldn’t wait to chat with me about my adventure in Sicily. I recorded our conversation which basically was her interviewing me about my WWOOFing experience. I really loved her questions and I thought it would be a great opportunity for people to hear about my experience from a slightly different perspective. Enjoy my conversation with a true inspiration, Pattie Baker…. #wwoof #wwoofitaly #farm #farming #organicfarming #regenerative #regenerativefarming

This is the 2nd interview I did while in Sicily.
This is the 2nd interview I did while in Sicily. This interview is with a dear friend Helen Cane Tarpinian. When I arrived at the Palermo Airport on Oct 11th, Helen picked me up and we went back to her beautiful home in Terrasini Sicily. Helen is an American living part time in Sicily. Her husband Vincenzo is from Sicily. So, her perspective of Sicily and my small perspective from the 12 days I spent there became a conversation that I wanted to capture for the podcast. One story that we somehow forgot to talk about in the podcast - as there were so many stories to cover - was Rossolini’s farm tour and Italian farm to table lunch in Terrasini. Rossolini not only has a farm - he is growing several tropical fruits not normally grown in Sicily,and he is also growing coffee. Of course I had to ask about cacao - and he actually did try to grow it, but they were hit with a frost and it didnt’ survive ... .but he is determined to try again! The farm tour was amazing - we tasted our way through - and then we sat down for a real authentic Italian farm to table meal - 3 courses - plus wine…and more wine…and an after dinner cocktail made from passion fruit grown at the farm - accompanied by authentic italian music and singing….Although I knew few words….i could feel the sense of family, connectedness and joy during this festive gathering. So Join Helen and I as we explore my first few days and last few days in Sicily - which were filled with more family, more delicious meals, visits to historic city streets, markets and churches, hikes, majestic scenery, gelato, cannoli and much love and connection. It was amazing and unforgettable. A Special thank you to Helen, Vincenzo, and Anthony for graciously welcoming me into their home and making me a part of the family!
