April 27, 2020 Jennifer Ross

The Agri-Tourist Podcast, my journey back to agriculture! Join me to learn from agritourism farmers & entrepreneurs & help me build my farm strategy!
a success…💚🌱 a success…💚🌱
So proud of this team…we just hiked with 40 4th gr So proud of this team…we just hiked with 40 4th grade students from Mill Pond School to the farm for a farm tour, scavenger hunt and taste of strawberries and cider donuts! Was a great adventure for all involved and so much fun! Thank you team for making it a great success! 💚🌱

Every now and then, a conversation changes your li Every now and then, a conversation changes your life in ways you could never have predicted. That’s exactly what happened when I first interviewed Pattie Baker about her WWOOFing journey across America. We connected instantly. What started as a podcast interview grew into a genuine friendship built on a shared love of farming, travel, learning, and embracing new adventures. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of following Pattie’s WWOOFing experiences in Ireland, sharing my own WWOOFing journey in Sicily, and collaborating together on our Farm Journal series documenting my new role as Retail Farm Manager at Nourse Farm. As I watch Pattie continue to inspire others from across the ocean while on her new adventure back in Ireland, I keep coming back to the lesson she lives every day: Trust the Journey. Re-listening to this very first interview reminded me how one brave decision can open doors you never imagined. I’m excited to share this conversation again because this is where it all began.

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.

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.Click on the link in the bio to listen to the full podcast episode. #beekeeper #beekeepers #localhoney #honey #podcast ...
