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

‘Our’ dog from Costa Rica…Chico! ☀️

One of my best trips ever….exploring Costa Rica…with my youngest daughter Abby…for her 18th birthday and High School graduation! This past April, Abby and I embarked on an adventure to Costa Rica….packed with ‘fake’ volcanic eruptions, ash clouds, rainforest hikes, stray dogs, serendipitous moments, magnificent sunsets, a cacao farm tour, chocolate and coffee tasting, delicious, clean, local meals, howler monkeys, the Pacific ocean, waterfalls, and so much more…. Taking it all in was not enough! I needed to debrief on this amazing agritourism adventure with my youngest on the podcast! I wanted to capture these moments forever on audio. Join Abby and I as we banter about our first-time adventures together in Costa Rica!

I had the opportunity to interview 2 extremely ded

I had the opportunity to interview 2 extremely dedicated and super insipring people who are veterans, farmers, educators, PHd students, and mentors for so many veterans who are considering a career in farming. This is career #2 for both of them. But why did they pick farming?

With one-third of American farmers over the age of 60, there is a critical shortage of individuals entering the agriculture industry. At the same time, there is a record number of veterans experiencing unemployment, PTSD, suicide, and other challenges that naturally follow almost two decades of sustained war.

Matthew and Kara Rutter, discuss their journey into farming post-military and why they are on a mission to increase the number of farmers while helping their fellow veterans.

Matt & Kara have created a few business models all focused on helping veterans get into farming and successfully stay in farming including Project Victory Gardens, Farms of the Brave, Farmer’s Bootcamp which is like a mini shark tank experience for wannabe farmers, Rutter’s ranch which is their own for profit farm business, and there are also projects that have been born out of their PHD pursuits in agriculture.

Matt & Kara are connected to Jeanette Lombardo from Farmer’s Veteran Coalition, the Global Agritorusim NEtwork and Will Culler from Clemson U who coordinates the ag and art tours in South Carolina.

Join me as we learn more about how Matt & Kara are motivating our veterans to pursue all sorts of careers in farming. Click on the link in our bio to listen to this week’s podcast.

Berkshire Farm Sanctuary Pairs Chocolate with Purp

Berkshire Farm Sanctuary Pairs Chocolate with Purpose”, reported by the Berkshire Eagle in an article published June 28th!

“Classical music wafts through the air as Dori Scofield maneuvers from barn to barn. It’s the first thing she does when she enters to check on the rescued animals living at Berkshire Farm Sanctuary. Turn the dial up on the speaker, flick on the lights, then serve a meal or give a pat on the head to the eager inhabitants. There’s virtually an ark’s worth of mouths to feed - pigs, goats sheep - white and without horns - and ferrets, plus 2 rescued feral cats that live in the barn loft.”

As Dori looks to expand the sanctuary, we teamed up to host a series of 5 chocolate-centric fundraising events. Dori needs more barns, More fencing. And More money - than she can take more animals. A new adoption center and living space for senior dogs is also in the works.

The Chocolate Experience fundraisers are complete with cocktails, mocktails and charcuterie plus learning about the agriculture behind chocolate. There’s a whole industry that people don’t understand. We open a chocolate bar -and we don’t think about what’s behind that chocolate bar. The point of these tastings is to educate people about the agriculture behind chocolate.

Event dates are July 5, Aug 2, Aug 30, Sept 20, Oct 4 from 5:30-7PM - REGISTER NOW at berkshirefarmsanctuary.org or heartbeetfarms.com. Link in the bio.

On the Agri-Tourist Episode #4 we hosted Shelby Wa

On the Agri-Tourist Episode #4 we hosted Shelby Watson-Hampton, author of Grace, Grit & Lipstick and co-owner of Robin Hill Farm & Vineyards in Maryland. I was heading down to South Carolina and my half way point was Maryland. I reached out to Shelby to see if she would be available to connect at her vineyard on a specific evening and, lucky for me, 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.

Part II of our visit to Robin Hill Farm & Vineyards begins with my interview with Jennifer Harris who manifested her way from a farm in Washington State to Washington DC. Jennifer has always asked, “what is behavior change and how does communications play a role in that? “ Hence, her career has been in Communications within the government sector focused on agriculture and the environment.

Next I interviewed Sydney Garner who grew up on a 3500 acre, generational, conventional family grain farm that grew corn, soybeans and wheat. These products are not direct to consumer products and get a bad rap at times. Sydney taught us about how her farm works to ensure that their farming and production doesn’t impact the local Bays.

Caroline Trossbach was born and raised on a 4th generation Maryland farm. She is an Agricultural development specialist supporting farm businesses in her county. We had a great discussion about the evolution of farmers markets and ultimately why farmers are turning more to agritourism.

Lastly, I interviewed Shari Bryant. Shari’s love for horses started when she was a young girl. Shari built a career in accounting, but she knew her life would involve horses. She launched FoxFire Farm where they do horseback trail riding paired with wine tasting at the next door vineyard…this is such a creative agritourism venture.

Enjoy my interviews with these amazing ‘farm’ women. Clck on the link in the bio to listen to the podcast.

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!
