My Journey Back to Agriculture
Do you yearn for travel that involves outdoor adventure and learning? I do! I also have a passion for all things farming and agriculture. I’ve traveled to exotic jungles to learn about growing chocolate. I even owned my own organic vegetable and sunflower farm. And now I’m planning my journey back to agriculture.
Agritoursim - defined as travel that involves some type of agricultural experience - Agritourism is all about entertaining. But the marketing strategist in me knows that, at its core, agritourism is really about educating. And education effects change.
My future farm needs to deliver a profound experience to all of its visitors. It needs to educate people about food, health, and climate. Join me to learn from experienced agritourism farmers and entrepreneurs and help me build my future farm strategy!
And, who knows, maybe one day soon you’ll find yourself in a tropical jungle cutting open cacao pods with a machete OR savoring an outdoor plant to plate community dinner with 100 guests at a farm in Illinois.
So let’s tap into the agri-tourist in you!

Agritourism involves travel, entertainment, adventure and agriculture, but, at its core, agritourism is really about connecting and educating. Join me to learn from experienced agritourism farmers and entrepreneurs, and help me build my future farm strategy.
Taste the Moka Origins lemon ginger chocolate bar and you'll experience real chocolate for the first time. On this episode of The Agri-Tourist, meet social entrepreneur Jeff Abella, Co-Founder and CEO of Moka Origins. Learn how his vision for the company was born in Cameroon, Africa and how it has evolved into the growing, socially responsible company it is today.
Moka Origins handcrafts chocolate from cacao beans to the finished chocolate bar. They also carefully roast their coffee to bring out delicious flavors from around the world. But this company, out of Honesdale, Pennsylvania, is much more than a craft chocolate and coffee company. The Moka Origins team is a global family working to transform lives by promoting innovative farming techniques while giving their farmers opportunities to create a sustainable livelihood. Their vision is for coffee and chocolate to empower communities around the world to survive and thrive. In addition to visiting their chocolate factory in Pennsylvania, you can also learn about chocolate and coffee through their incredible immersive agritourism adventures to Costa Rica, Uganda, and Mexico. On these trips you will connect with Moka’s global cacao and coffee sourcing partners, experience fair trade in action, and discover indigenous cultures, cuisines and epic landscapes, all while learning and volunteering.
