My Journey Back to Agriculture
Do you yearn for travel that involves outdoor adventure and learning? I do! I also have a passion for all things farming and agriculture. I’ve traveled to exotic jungles to learn about growing chocolate. I even owned my own organic vegetable and sunflower farm. And now I’m planning my journey back to agriculture.Â
Agritoursim - defined as travel that involves some type of agricultural experience - Agritourism is all about entertaining. But the marketing strategist in me knows that, at its core, agritourism is really about educating. And education effects change.Â
My future farm needs to deliver a profound experience to all of its visitors. It needs to educate people about food, health, and climate. Join me to learn from experienced agritourism farmers and entrepreneurs and help me build my future farm strategy! Â
And, who knows, maybe one day soon you’ll find yourself in a tropical jungle cutting open cacao pods with a machete OR savoring an outdoor plant to plate community dinner with 100 guests at a farm in Illinois. Â
So let’s tap into the agri-tourist in you!

Agritourism involves travel, entertainment, adventure and agriculture, but, at its core, agritourism is really about connecting and educating. Join me to learn from experienced agritourism farmers and entrepreneurs, and help me build my future farm strategy.
Today I am chatting with Tracy Mitchell Griggs from AgVenturesUS. Tracy is the ultimate connector when it comes to everything agritourism. Growing up in south Jersey, Tracy developed a love of farmers veggies from local farmers markets. She also spent a lot of time on the eastern shore of Maryland where she enjoyed Chesapeake Bay Sailing adventures with her family. Tracy spent time in California exploring and expanding her culinary skills and later returned to the Mid Atlantic where she studied the global aquaculture industry.Â
Throughout her career, agritourism has become a significant theme, and Tracy is applying that knowledge, experience and her many agritourism contacts to build out some business concepts surrounding the arts and agriculture and a Mid Atlantic Agritourism Alliance. Learn about how Tracy’s diverse career, experiences and her knack for connecting people have come together to form these new and exciting ventures.
