Description

Two American expats, Ashley and Jason are living the dream (and sometimes a nightmare) in rural Italy since 2007. Their hilarious and authentic podcast shares adventures of running La Tavola Marche an organic farm, inn & cooking school . With recipes, daily life, crazy neighbors, travels & more! Join Ashley and Jason for stories of daily life, local Italian recipes, chicken herding, large scale gardening projects, strolls through surrounding villages, fun Italian phrases, shopping for fish along the Adriatic coast and bargain wine discoveries straight from the vineyard. - ”Their podcast is meant to be shared, as you would share a fine, slow food meal with friends” - Martini.
