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

There’s something deeply healing about stepping on

There’s something deeply healing about stepping onto a farm — slowing down long enough to breathe fresh air, work with your hands, share a meal, connect with animals, and reconnect with nature in a way that modern life rarely allows. But what if those experiences are more than simply enjoyable? What if farms themselves are part of a much larger public health solution?

In this incredibly thought-provoking episode, I sit down with emergency medicine physician, public health advocate, farmer, and agritourism visionary Dr. Chris Barsotti to explore the intersection of agriculture, wellness, public health, and human connection. From his work in ecological economics and emergency medicine to building a regenerative farm in southern Vermont, Chris shares a powerful perspective on how farms can serve not only as places of food production — but as spaces that actively support mental, physical, emotional, and social well-being.

Together, we dive into topics like regenerative agriculture, nature-based interventions, loneliness and isolation, lifestyle medicine, animal-assisted experiences, and why agri-tourism may be one of the most overlooked forms of preventative healthcare in modern society. We also reflect on our shared experiences in Sicily, the healing power of meaningful connection, and the growing movement to reimagine farms as community-centered wellness spaces.

This conversation completely reframed the way I think about agriculture — not just as farming, hospitality, or tourism, but as a form of care. If you’ve ever felt calmer after spending time on a farm, in a garden, in the woods, or around animals… this episode will deeply resonate with you.

In bonus episode 3, I’m joined once again by Patti

In bonus episode 3, I’m joined once again by Pattie Baker for a personal reflection on my journey to Nourse Farm in Westborough, Massachusetts.

After years of building a life, career, and community on Long Island, I made the decision to step back into the world of agriculture—not by returning to something familiar, but by embracing an entirely new challenge. What began as an opportunity to help shape the retail, education, and community-facing side of a historic farm has become a lesson in reinvention, resilience, and personal growth.

In this conversation, we discuss the realities of starting over in a new environment, the intensity of taking over a farm store and CSA program, creating educational experiences, and building systems from the ground up. We also talk about balancing family responsibilities from afar, finding grounding in the daily rhythms of farm life, and navigating the uncertainty that comes with pursuing something meaningful.

This episode is an honest look at what happens when you say yes to a new adventure—even when the timing isn’t perfect, the path isn’t clear, and the outcome is still unfolding.

If you’ve ever felt called to begin again, follow a passion, or take a leap into the unknown, I think you’ll find something in this conversation that resonates.

Over the past few years on The Agri-Tourist Podcas

Over the past few years on The Agri-Tourist Podcast, I’ve had the opportunity to explore so many different corners of agriculture—but this conversation brings us into a part of the food system that is both incredibly visible and often deeply misunderstood: beekeeping.

In episode 101, I sit down with Evan Reseska of Boston Honey Company, a family-run business that has grown from a single backyard hive into a multi-state operation. What I found especially compelling is how this story reflects something we see across agriculture—growth doesn’t happen in a straight line. It’s shaped by curiosity, by necessity, and by a willingness to adapt when conditions change. From shifting climates to changing forage and the realities of pollination, Evan shares what it really takes to build and sustain a business around bees.

As you listen, I invite you to think a little differently about something as simple as honey. Because behind it is a complex system—of bees, land, farmers, and decisions that all play a role in what ends up in the jar. And as always, it’s a reminder that the more we understand about where our food comes from, the more connected we become to the people and processes behind it.
