It's Time to Pause...& 3 Favorites!

Send us Fan MailThis is a special episode for many reasons.  We hit 70 episodes last week!! I can’t believe how fast 70 episodes went by - 70 weeks of my life and yours!!!  This episode will be highlighting -  very briefly -  the top 3 most listened to podcasts.  And what do I mean by highlighting them - I am pulling out some of the most meaningful sections - the part of the conversation that left an impact on me…and hopefully left an impact on you too!  But I am also using this time to say a few words about going forward.  I value each and every person who has taken the time out of their lives to listen to these conversations.  That truly means the world to me.  As I truly valued the time that my podcast guests took out of their lives to spend some time with me and talk to me about all that they do…and also open up to me about their personal stories.  It’s come time to pause, evaluate and take in everything that I learned….not a permanent pause but an interruption and change to the normal schedule going forward.  As a marketer consistency is critical. So, yes,  I am breaking one of my very own marketing rules.  But sometimes rules just need to be broken!  I will be doing pop up podcasts on an irregular basis - there are some that are planned for the near future that will take place.  But, for many reasons, I decided it was best to pause the weekly monday podcasts and mix it up just a bit.  So why I am taking this pause? My youngest daughter just started college….for those who have experienced this….I know that I don’t need to say another word…I know you deeply understand.  For those who haven’t yet or have not experienced this….it’s definitely a pivotal time of reflection and change.. A time of questioning a lot of things.  And a time of new beginnings….all of which are very frightening and super exciting at the same time.  The last 70 weeks of inspiring conversations have somewhat prepared me for these next steps…for these changes….so I thank every person who entered my life for the last 70 weeks…every one of you came into my life for a reason..and I value each and every one of you. And most importantly, for your own health, for the health and well being of our local farmers, and for the well being of our Earth….please make every effort to shop your local farms! Thank you for listening and hopefully you will stick around for what’s to come in the future…. here are the top 3 podcasts that you listened to the most...A Chocolate & Coffee Agri-Tour Adventure with Moka Origins CEO Jeff AbellaA Plant-Based Visit to Florida with Emma & John Hoel of Peacefield Farm SanctuarySkip the Farmers Market and Learn How to Profit from a Pick Your Own Farm with Megan NeubauerThank you for taking the time to listen to The Agri-Tourist Podcast, for supporting our inspirational guests, and for sharing my personal journey back to agriculture.  Agri-Tourist.comHeartBeet FarmsInstagramAbout Jen Ross, The Agri-Tourist Podcast HostGlobal Agritourism Network
