And former guests continue to provide information from the AFF.  Melissa Joy Dobbins, MS, RDN CDCES, was recently a guest on an iHeart Radio podcast.  Listen to this one-minute clip to hear how Melissa beautifully integrates AFF messaging and information during her interview.  Melissa was part of our 2018 tour and this podcast is another example of how influencers take their tour experience and what they learned and share it with consumers.

The AFF’s 2025 tour guests included:  Laura Burak, Samantha Cassetty, Jessica Crandall Snyder, Ginger Hultin, Charlotte Martin,  Nijya Noble,  Sarah Schlichter, and Alexandra Turnbull.

The AFF extends its appreciation to the sponsors who made this tour possible including the California Strawberry Commission, D’Arrigo California, the International Fresh Produce Association and Western Growers Association.
