The Agri-Tourist, My Journey Back to Agriculture
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.
The Agri-Tourist, My Journey Back to Agriculture
Getting to Know Your Agri-Tourist Podcast Host, Jennifer Ross
My journey back to agriculture and farming began when I started my podcast interviews a few months ago. I am an accounting major turned marketer. I transitioned from a 14-year career in corporate america to owning a small marketing consulting business for over 18 years, all while raising three kids. I owned a vegetable and sunflower farm for a few years in between - the one part of my career and life that grounded and connected me more than anything else.
My youngest is graduating in 2025 and I am looking to make a move back to agriculture. When, where, how, and what I will be doing are all questions that I’m in the process of answering. And this Agri-Tourist podcast is a platform for me to figure it all out. When I am making any type of career or life transition, I reach out and engage with people in and around the industry I am interested in. I engage in real conversation and learn as much as I can. So, instead of me having these compelling conversations behind the scenes, I am putting these conversations out there for others to learn from, to be inspired by, or to just learn about a cool destination to travel to and experience.
In this episode, my long time friend and coworker, Marisa Pizza, is interviewing me about my life and career so we can assess where my thoughts and feelings are at the beginning of this journey. It will be interesting to follow up in a few months to see how those thoughts and feelings have evolved. Join Marisa and I for a fun, open, and honest conversation about life, passion, leadership, community, health, food, and our environment.
