The Farm Babe along with Whet Travel are elated to announce Farm Cruise. Michelle Miller, aka The Farm Babe remarked, “I love traveling the country and meeting producers and learning about what they do, but I also love taking a break and spending a little time relaxing – what better way to do both than on a cruise with a couple hundred new ag friends.”
This new lifestyle-based cruise is curated by Jason Beukema, CEO of Whet Travel, who has over 20 years of travel experience and has helped manage over 29 full ship charters since 2004, including country, salsa, rock, heavy metal, yoga and the global dance music sensation called the Groove Cruise. Beukema remarked, “We call our guests the captain as each person who sails with us steers our ship and we support their dreams and experience. I love the magic that a cruise creates when we can bring together individuals who have shared passions and lifestyles. Some of my fondest memories growing up were on my family farm and I’m excited to bring this experience to this hard working and deserving community who certainly needs a great vacay and to be recognized.”
In closing, Miller remarked, “I am fortunate to have combined my passion for agriculture and travel into a career, and even more excited to bring this event to life. The ag community is like a family and what better way to spend some time relaxing that doing so with people we enjoy and respect.”
