They delve into the integration of agritourism with traditional farming practices, emphasizing the importance of community engagement and sustainable farming. The discussion covers their approach to high-performance farming, the evolution of their agritourism offerings, and the balance between commercial aspects and farming values. They also highlight the visitor experience and the various accommodations available at Windy Station, as well as the farming operations involving cropping and cattle management.

Clare Lee and Jack Cresswell discuss the evolving landscape of agritourism in Australia, focusing on the integration of farming practices with tourism. They explore the support systems available for agritourism, the importance of heritage restoration, and the impact of visitor interactions on both the farm and the community. Clare shares her experiences with funding for agritourism projects, particularly the restoration of the Woolshed, and emphasizes the need for authentic agricultural experiences that connect visitors with the realities of farm life.
