When we first moved into RAIF, our RV, and started living, working, and traveling full time, we heard about this community called Harvest Hosts where you could stay overnight at breweries. Of course, we had to learn more. Three years later, we’ve become so enamored with the company and the people, that we had to have them on our podcast. After all, Living a Stout Life is all about community, and the Harvest Hosts Community brings our love of travel and beer together quite nicely.
First and foremost we want to make sure you know that this is not an ad about Harvest Hosts. Yes, we talk about what it is and how to get involved, but more importantly, we talk about the community that surrounds it and the people that run it.
Meet Lisa Manning
Meet Lisa Manning, the Head of Host and Member Success. We chat with her about her favorite places and our favorite places. We talk about her attempt at moving into an RV with her family and how life doesn’t always go as planned. We talk about RV hacks, the travel lifestyle, and of course, beer and breweries. We always talk about those.

Whether you know about Harvest Hosts or not, this week’s episode may just motivate you to go buy an RV just so you can stay overnight at a brewery…or a vineyard…or a farm…or a museum… And, oh, the people you’ll meet along the way.

“Ken and April do a fantastic job of mixing the culture of beer and adventure into something akin to a fine barrel-aged sour. They are wise beyond their years. Loving this podcast and it will be on our weekly playlist for SURE!”

Lisa, you rocked it! Not only did you get in all the information to our listeners about Harvest Hosts, but you managed to turn the table on us, and ask us a few questions about our RV life, making the podcast even more fun. Your stories from your life, as well as the members, were entertaining, inspirational, and just plain fun to listen to. We hope to meet you on the road in your RV someday soon!
