In the 100th Episode (can’t believe it’s been 100 episodes!!) of The Agri-Tourist Podcast, I take you back to Italy - specifically Tuscany - for a conversation that really captures how something small can grow into something incredibly meaningful. I sit down with Arturo, who shares the story of his family’s rose farm (Rosa di Magliano)—one that began not with a business plan, but with a moment. A scent that stopped his mother in her tracks, brought back a memory, and ultimately led to the creation of a farm rooted in tradition, curiosity, and care.

What I appreciate about this conversation is how it brings you into the rhythm of this kind of farming. This is not large-scale, fast-paced agriculture—this is intentional, seasonal, and deeply connected to time and place. From harvesting roses in the early morning to preserve their fragrance, to transforming those petals into syrup and jam, Arturo shares what it really takes to produce something so unique and so tied to both nature and tradition.

As you listen, I invite you to think about the moments that spark something bigger—and how often those moments are right in front of us. Because this story is a reminder that agriculture doesn’t always start with a grand plan. Sometimes it starts with paying attention… and being willing to follow where that leads.

In Episode 99 of The Agri-Tourist Podcast, we’re continuing the conversation with Medway Community Farm—this time taking a deeper dive into one of the most unique and impactful parts of their operation: education. If you listened to Part 1 (episode 97), you heard how this farm is rooted in community, food access, and connection. In this second part, we build on that foundation and explore how they’ve created an education model that goes far beyond what you typically see on a farm.

What makes this conversation so compelling is how intentional and layered their approach is. I’m joined again by members of the Medway Community Farm team. First with Board Director Tina Wright and second with Education Director Marlee Blasenheim. Both individually share how the Medway education programs have evolved—from having very little structured education just a few years ago to building something that is now deeply integrated into the local school system and community. From early childhood exposure to hands-on growing experiences and beyond, this is education that grows with the learner.

As you listen, I invite you to think about what’s possible when a farm fully embraces its role as an educational space. Because what Medway has created isn’t just programming—it’s a pathway for connection, understanding, and long-term impact. And for anyone thinking about agritourism or community-based farming, there’s a lot to learn from what they’ve built here.

In episode 98 of The Agri-Tourist Podcast, I sit down with Peter Carlson of Wright Old School Chocolate to explore his journey from chocolate enthusiast to bean-to-bar maker. What began as a simple curiosity—sparked by family and a few eye-opening experiences—quickly evolved into something much deeper: a desire to truly understand chocolate at its source.

There’s a quiet honesty in this conversation that I really appreciate. Peter shares what it actually looks like to step beyond being a consumer and into the role of a creator—the trial and error, the surprises, and the realization that something that seems simple… isn’t. From sourcing cacao to refining his process, his story reflects that moment so many of us have in food and agriculture—when appreciation turns into respect.

As always, this episode is about connection. Connection to ingredients, to the people and places behind them, and to the process itself. It’s also a reminder that when you take the time to understand something more deeply—even something as familiar as chocolate—it can shift the way you see it entirely. And maybe, just maybe, it invites you to get a little more curious, too.
