Tassie Farmstay Owner, Tim Parsons, Revitalizes Curringa Farm and the Tasmanian Devil Really Exists!

Send us Fan MailWe are headed to Tassie today….that’s Tasmania for those who are not familiar.  And we are chatting with Tim Parsons. Tim and his wife Jane are 6th generation Tasmanian Farmers who own Curringa Farm, Tassie's favorite farmstay with national award winning cottages, farm tours, and group bbq meals. Curringa Farm is a 750-acre farm focused on raising sheep, growing crops for seeds, and growing opium for pharmaceutical medicine.  I am sure I got your attention there! The farm is a favorite farmstay with several cottages on the property and is expanding as we speak. Tim tells us how he worked to revitalize and grow his farm.  In my opinion he is a master marketer who understands the real value of building relationships, sometimes in a very grassroots way, something I think he learned from his mom.  Upon entering this conversation, I knew very little about Tasmania, but now I feel like I have a great connection in Tassie and look forward to one day visiting Curringa Farm. Curringa FarmThank 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
