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


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 ā€˜thingā€™ - a ā€˜thingā€™ 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 ā€˜farming-relatedā€™ 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, ā€˜Grace, Grit & Lipstickā€™! #farmedlife #maryland #marylandvineyards #vineyardsmaryland #marylandfarms #thefarmedlife

Learn more about the eco-certification, why it exists, how it differs from organic, why apples and peaches struggle with organic certification east of Washington State, and moreā€¦visit the podcast link in our bio to listen to our podcast episodes! #apple #apples #organicapples #ecocertified #appleorchard #appleorchardsšŸŽ

We did not grow apples at my farm. So during apple season we would purchase apples to have available for our customers. Finding organic apples was impossible so after some research we found Eco Certified apples from Fishkill Farms - a farm that was about a 2 Ā½ hour drive from us. However, it was worth the trip to stock up on healthier, more sustainably grown apples. At the time I read about the Eco Certification and it sounded in line with our values. But I have to say that I didnā€™t fully understand why I couldnā€™t find organic apples, similar to the certification that we find in the grocery stores. During a podcast interview with the manager and orchardist from Scott Farm in Vermont, the Eco Certification came up againā€¦they were an eco certified apple farm. And that was when I learned that apples east of the state of Washington pretty much canā€™t successfully be certified and grown organically. Why canā€™t they? Well we explore these reasons in my interview with Michael Rozyne, Founder of Red Tomato, the organization that oversees the Eco Certifiication program for apples and peaches. Funny thing is that the Eco Certification is actually tied to Meryl Streep. Andā€¦ you will have to listen to the podcast to learn more about that intriguing story. Turns out that Red Tomato is not just focused on their Eco Certification program but they are also a food distributor, marketing and education powerhouse, and have recently launched an innovative supply chain project to address food access and affordability. Join Michael and I as we explore how Red Tomato came to be and has evolved to support the changing times.

HeartBeet Farms

I was asked to help out a group of friends with a new podcast – Marisa, the friend who interviews me, was one of those friends. They call themselves ā€˜terrestrialā€™ radio people as they all were involved with various radio shows back in the day – you can tell by their great voices! I sat down with them a few months ago and downloaded my thoughts on how to get started, realizing how much I had learned with a yearā€™s worth of podcast episodes under my belt! I felt very complimented to have been asked to do this. Well, they just launched their first episode and asked me to come down to the library studio during their recording for support – just in case!! I didnā€™t know they were going to recruit me as their first guest – LOL! I had such a fun experience. They are off to an amazing start so please give them a listen. You can find them on all the big podcast platforms – Spotify, Apple, IHeartRadio, etc.. under the name Yakety Yak; Letā€™s Talk About That! I will add the Apple Podcasts link to my bio! Give them a listen! And feel free to also give them a review after you listen. Congrats Mike, Marisa and Glenn!!! You did it!
