The Good Life at La Tavola Marche - In Conversation with Ashley Bartner

Welcome to Episode #12:  We kick off Season 2 with a wonderful conversation with the delightful Ashley Bartner of La Tavola Marche, a Cooking School, Farm and Agriturismo in Italy.Ashley and her husband Jason moved to Italy thirteen years ago from New York with a plan to create their own business off the beaten track in the region of Le Marche.  With a big dream in their back pocket and hearts full of enthusiasm they both ventured into the world of farm life, cooking schools and the Italian Lifestyle.It wasn't without its trials and tribulations (whatever good thing ever is?) and that is a testament to their ability to keep moving forward no matter what the universe threw their way. I loved this conversation for a bunch of reasons.  Not only is Ashley full of heart and zest for life but she is a generous person who not only loves what she does but shares it in spades in this conversation and in life.  Ashley and Jason have pooled their talents to create a successful business and a hands on experience for the travelers who come from around the world to participate in their workshops and the region of the Le Marche.... the place they call home.Visit:  www.latavolamarche.com for more information.  You can also listen to their podcast - Podcast From Italy...........© 2021 A Writer In Italy - travel, writing, art and lifeMusic Composed by Richard Johnston, © 2021Please find Show Notes at: www.michellejohnston.lifePlease subscribe, rate and/or review if you enjoyed this podcast.Instagram:  @awriterinitaly and @theyellowhouse__About A Writer in Italy Podcast:Five years ago Michelle Johnston traveled to Italy to create space for herself and her writing.  Michelle traveled solo giving herself time to recalibrate after many years of parenting and life in general.  Leaving her husband to take care of the family she reconnected with her writing, her art and her love of travel.The adventure turned into the book and travel memoir...............In the Shadow of a Cypress: An Italian AdventureSupport the show
