Local food producers didn't know how to easily sell their products. When consumers want convenient access to quality groceries from people they can trust...they visit Farm To You.

Growing a 100% local grocery store using direct-to-farmer relationships, Chris has a pulse on local food problems that few have attempted to tackle in this way. Learn why farmers markets don't actually benefit many farmers (or consumers) and how grocery stores also fall short. Chris is eager to educate and inform others using on-the-ground insight into why our food system is so broken and why we lose thousands of farms a year with most farms earning negative income farming.

I am currently at Sun Heaven Farms LLC as an Agronomist. My passion is to work with precision agriculture and be a link between new developments at an industry company and the growers.

Precision agriculture is the way of the future not only for helping to increase profits but also to increase efficiency and yields.

Hedman Soto is the founder of Hedman Soto (hedmansoto.com), an authentic Puerto Rican pantry brand bringing small-batch Chulería en Pote seasoning by Chef Ventura Vivoni and single-origin Wepa Coffee from the island to home cooks across the US. Born and raised in Puerto Rico, Hedman grew up cooking with his mother and baking with his father — that kitchen foundation became the bones of the brand. Hedman speaks to the underserved demand for authentic Latin pantry goods in the US: 5 million Puerto Ricans on the mainland, 60 million Latinos who recognize sazón as the taste of home, and almost no brands willing to do the work of sourcing it honestly from the island. He launched Hedman Soto as the answer to that gap. Available for commentary on: Puerto Rican cooking and culture, authentic Latin pantry essentials, sazón vs. adobo (and what makes Chef Vivoni's blend different), Wepa Coffee and Puerto Rican specialty coffee, Hispanic Heritage Month, Latin holiday recipes (pernil, arroz con gandules, coquito, Three Kings Day), DTC food brand founding, and the diaspora's relationship with familiar flavors.

Maurice Smith, CTIE, is a hospitality strategist, writer, and advisor whose work sits at the intersection of restorative hospitality, regenerative tourism, place-based guest experience, and community stewardship. His perspective is shaped by a belief that the future of hospitality will not be defined by access, amenities, or aesthetics alone, but by meaning: how a place connects people to culture, memory, ecology, community, and a deeper sense of belonging. Maurice’s background includes luxury travel advisory, destination strategy, guest experience, hospitality education, business strategy, media commentary, travel writing, and public-facing thought leadership. His work has been recognized by leading travel publications and industry platforms, and his insight has been sought by national travel, business, and consumer media outlets covering travel trends, hospitality, sustainability, and evolving traveler expectations. Today, his work centers on the development of hospitality, education, and stewardship concepts that explore how travel and place can help restore both people and communities. His current focus includes small-scale hospitality, cultural storytelling, environmental education, regenerative tourism, guest experience, community-centered learning, and restoration-centered leadership.

Why do some travel experiences stay with us for the rest of our lives while others disappear before we've even unpacked? That question has shaped my career. As a Travel Sommelier and founder of Hidden Travel™, I explore what transforms an ordinary trip into an unforgettable experience. After years of firsthand exploration and an earlier career in alternative medicine working with elite athletes, executives, and performers, I came to see travel differently. The most memorable journeys aren't defined by a single landmark or luxury hotel—they're shaped by hundreds of intentional decisions working together. Today, I combine that systems-based perspective with years in the field to help travelers, destinations, and hospitality brands create experiences that are more meaningful, immersive, and memorable. My work spans editorial storytelling, destination ecosystems, custom travel design, and Ageless Explorer, a movement built on the belief that our greatest adventures shouldn't have an expiration date.

Co-Creator, Mangoes & Palm Trees | Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) | Nutritionist THE GLOBAL DISCOVERY: MANGOES & PALM TREES I am a food and travel writer and the co-creator of Mangoes & Palm Trees. Alongside my husband and our son, Victor, I lead a nomadic life documenting the world’s most vibrant flavors from our base in Southeast Asia. As a medically trained professional, my mission is to find the scientific truth in cultural traditions. We specialize in mapping "Safe-Plate" street food protocols, fusing cultural immersion with clinical travel safety to prove that global adventure can be healthy and vibrant. CLINICAL SCIENCE MEETS HOLISTIC WISDOM My perspective is built on the discipline of elite athletics, the precision of clinical medicine, and a deep curiosity about global health rituals. - The Discipline of Performance: As a former elite rhythmic gymnast, I learned early that nutrition is a chemical requirement for resilience. This immersion in high-performance biology defines my work today. - Medical Precision (DMD): As a Doctor of Dental Medicine, I spent years on the front lines of systemic health. I saw how inflammation and nutrition manifested in patients long before they reached a general physician. To bridge the gap between clinical science and vitality, I immersed myself in nutriciology, turning "wellness" into a measurable, biological reality. GLOBAL VITALITY & WELL-BEING Living and studying internationally, including time in South East Asia, transformed my perspective. I believe you cannot truly understand well-being without seeing how the world lives—finding the harmony between movement, environment, and tradition. I strip away the noise of the wellness industry and replace it with science-backed, soulful wisdom. EXPERTISE FOR MEDIA & FEATURES I provide expert commentary on the intersection of medicine, nutrition, and travel: - Nutritional Chemistry: How diet dictates mental and physical performance. - Systemic Health: Why oral health is the window into longevity. - Global Vitality: How world food cultures and "Safe-Plate" travel impact human biology. I don’t just teach well-being; I live it. My mission is to help you understand your own biology so you can write your own story of health. Connect for expert commentary, wellness consulting, and global partnerships.

I'm Marc Gottwald, co-founder and CEO of Luxury Tours Switzerland, a boutique Destination Management Company crafting bespoke private travel experiences across all of Switzerland. My path here wasn't accidental. I hold a Master's degree in Environmental Sciences and Sustainability Management from ETH Zurich, and I spent years hiking this country twice a day, going off the map, finding places that don't show up on Google or Instagram. That obsession with discovering the real Switzerland is the foundation everything we've built is sitting on. In 2018, Joshua Heuberger and I launched My Swiss Panorama, leading private day tours in and around Zurich. What started as guided excursions grew into something bigger because our clients kept asking for more. Hotels. Full itineraries. Helicopter flights. Transfers. They didn't want pieces. They wanted someone to handle everything. So we built that. In late 2025, we launched Luxury Tours Switzerland as a full-service DMC covering the entire country. Today we operate with a team of three experience agents and approximately eight experience creators, all native Swiss, all trained in-house, and exclusively available through us. That last part matters more than anything else we offer. We've accumulated nearly 400 five-star reviews on TripAdvisor and hold the number one ranking for outdoor activities in Zurich. Les Clefs d'Or, the international luxury concierge association, requested a partnership with us based on the quality of our tours. We're also members of Switzerland Tourism. Approximately 80% of our clients come from the United States. They're CEOs, entrepreneurs, doctors, and families who value their time above everything. My job is to make sure they spend none of it worrying about logistics, and all of it falling in love with Switzerland. We only recommend what we've done ourselves. If we're not the right fit for a client, we say so clearly. That honesty is what makes the right partnerships last.

I'm Gregory Kalinin, co-founder of Holistic Roasters (biodynamic.coffee). We source Demeter Certified Biodynamic and regeneratively grown coffees from family-owned farms in Honduras and Peru, roast in-house, and publish third-party lab certificates for every harvest — Actlabs (ISO 17025–accredited mycotoxin panel) and Eurofins (heavy metals and microbiology). Every certificate is published unedited. The brand started in 2016, when I began sourcing Biodynamic coffee for a community school fundraiser. A trip to Honduras to meet a family of regenerative coffee growers cemented the vision, and Holistic Roasters launched shortly after to bring small-batch roasting and regenerative farming together. I'm available to journalists covering food, health, sustainability, and agriculture on: regenerative farming and the soil microbiome, Demeter Biodynamic vs. USDA Organic, coffee mycotoxins and lab-testing methodology, shade-grown coffee and biodiversity, low-histamine coffee, and coffee-cortisol timing.
