A surprising amenity that’s growing at certain luxury resorts around the world is not bath products, golf courses or thread counts. It’s chickens, goats, vegetables and orchards. And travelers are eager to tour and pitch in at these working farms, an area where foodie culture, wellness and outdoor life intersect.

In this episode, host Rebecca Tobin and hospitality editor Christina Jelski dig in about resort farms, orchards and food-to-table operations with Kurt Bjorkman of the Ranch at Laguna Beach and Sarah Fazendin of Videre Travel. 

This episode is part of our summer series featuring some of our most memorable recent episodes. This episode was originally published May 22 and has been edited for length and clarity.
