In this conversation, Arlene and Caite interview Jen Colby, a farmer from Vermont, about her experiences in agriculture and agritourism. Jen shares her journey into farming and the various businesses she runs, including a podcast, farm stays, and an Airbnb. She discusses the challenges and rewards of hosting farm stays and the importance of managing profitable farm businesses. Jen also highlights the lessons she has learned from first and skip generation farmers and the considerations and regulations involved in starting farm stays. In this part of the conversation, the topics discussed include farmstay structures and privacy, advice for couples in farming relationships, parenting challenges on the farm, raising an only child on the farm, parenting advice, and Jenn's dominant category at the county fair: swine obstacle course. In this conversation, the hosts discuss various topics related to personal experiences and interests. They cover unconventional animal agility, repetitive motion injuries from parenting, the frustrations of aging, supporting children's interests, and the art of info dumping and special interests.
