“Nobody thinks fish are cute… PITA was like, ‘you know what? People don’t think fish are cute, so we need to come up with a way to make people eat less fish.’ So they came up with a campaign called, Save the Sea Kittens.”

Podcast Synopsis

I started listening to this show on the Waypoint Outdoor Collective called The Farm Traveler Podcast. I really liked his show and he answered a lot of my questions about where my food comes from. I want to make good calls for my health and for my family and Trevor was really helpful in directing me.

Trevor Williams, host of the Farm Traveler Podcast, has set out to be the mediator between farmers and consumers. He researches topics in the agriculture industry by interviewing farmers, ranchers, politicians, teachers and others involved in agriculture.

Learn how your food is made with Trevor Williams as we talk about his podcast and the things he has learned about the food industry. Trevor is a former High School Agriscience teacher now software analyst.  He graduated with a B.S. degree in Agricultural Education and Communication with a minor in Environmental Horticulture. Trevor started Farm Traveler in 2016 with the help of his now wife, Allie.

Allie is a Mechanical Engineer and graduated from the University of South Florida.  She is currently working on her M.B.A. from Auburn University while dreaming of one day opening her own Chick-fil-A.
