Farm Traveler

Farm Traveler is a podcast for people who care about their food and the farmers who grow it. Thanks to direct-to-consumer businesses, agritourism, and social media, supporting local farmers and local food has never been easier. Here on the Farm Traveler podcast, we want to connect you with farms offering direct-to-consumer products you can order from home, agritourism sites you can visit with your family, and exciting new technology changing how our food is grown. Listen as host Trevor Williams interviews farmers, ranchers, entrepreneurs, and other experts in the agriculture industry, and be sure to check out www.thefarmtraveler.com for more!
