Good morning guys from Yuma, Arizona. I hope you're having a great day. Today's
vlog is gonna be a fun one. Because we have the opportunity to share a very
unique experience from start to finish with you!.... Yep! So what he's talking about
is: "Harvest Host." We're gonna go out to a Harvest Host
here in Yuma. And we're gonna start by showing you how to find things, how to
utilize their website and their app... Yep!... And then we're gonna go to an actual
harvest host and show you what it's all about!.... So in case you don't know... What is
harvest host?.... Harvest host is an amazing program that gives travellers the
opportunity to stay at a wide range of places! Orchards, vineyards, wineries...
Because sometimes the winery and the vineyard is apart from each other.
Museums, breweries and... They've recently expanded into golf courses.... Mm-hmm...
So basically what you have to do is join harvest host. It's an annual membership.
And then once you've done that, they give you access to their directory of harvest
hosts! You can choose one in the area you're traveling to, go and stay with
them... There's a few, you know, polite things to do like.... Call ahead and let
them know you're coming...Mm-mmh... But then once you're there, you can stay for free! If
they sell something, it's generally customary for you to spend about 20
bucks they say!...Yeah, yeah!...It's a good you know, pay it
for type of thing.... A way to support their business.... Okay, let's start at square
one! How do you join harvest house? You can go to harvesthost.com but one
better, if you use our link we have a promo code that's gonna give you a
discount off of your annual membership! Alright! Now that you've signed up for
harvest host,it's time to search for hosts to go stay at! I want to give a
shout out to their app their app! Their app is absolutely amazing! And I say that
because it works and I love the mapping feature of it!
You don't have to use that whole two fingers thing to slide it around. But for the
sake of this video, we're gonna use the laptop. I'm gonna type in... Yuma right
there. It auto populates and let's give it a search!....Alright! It's pulled up an
area of Yuma and we have a good idea where we're going for this video. It's
called: "From the farm." On highway 95 just outside of town here. So this is the
homepage for: "From the farm." You'll find contact information, their address, some
details about how to get there, a little below that are GPS coordinates and their
phone number. This place says no need to call ahead but that's not the norm most
of the time you need to call ahead. But don't be shy! They want to see you so
just give them a call. And then down here, you could scroll and you see what type
of rigs can be accommodated. And... Their amenities! So it's pet friendly, there's a
farmers market, restaurant, gift shop and then the photos! So you can really see
what you're getting into. But...This location looks absolutely gorgeous guys!
Well, now that we had all those details out of the way, let's go grab some lunch
because.... I've heard amazing things about this restaurant!
So we hear that everything off the grill is really good!.... So we got a chicken,
cheese and bean burrito. And then from the farm tacos, beef and chicken with
chilli on top!.... And for beverages, lavender lemonade and a famous date shake! When
you come to this part of the country, there's a date palms growing everywhere!
And specifically you Yuma. Date shakes are really popular and...I don't think
we've ever had one honey!...Nope!... Well, let me give this a shot before we even eat the
food..... That's good guys! It's really good!... Okay. That hit the spot! So the really
cool thing about Harvest Host is that every single one is unique! So this one has
food and date shakes, they have events here like weddings.... Oh wow! Look at this
place! This is full of stuff!.... Well as most of
you guys know, we travel full time in our motorhome. Which just so happens to be a
13 foot box. So we do not have room for stuff like this.... You don't wanna get the table set for our track?...No, no!... We don't have room
for that!..... Okay. Well, our nice hosts said that we can park just about anywhere on
the property except places where they are working in the fields.
And I think this looks like as good of a spot as any!
Good morning from the farm in Yuma, Arizona. It is a beautiful, sunny clear
day here. A little chilly but in a good way!
And..... We're done! We're taking off... Yeah! We enjoyed our night here at a Harvest
Host...Uhhmm.... A couple of closing thoughts as we bring this video to an end. Number 1:
The website mentions this for harvest hosts and I really loved it and wanted
to share it with you guys! When you plan to stay at a harvest host, think of it
as a destination not just a place to spend the night and plan your visit
accordingly! You can arrive earlier in the day or plan to stay later into
tomorrow and enjoy whatever amenities they have! You know, we've been at
orchards where you can go for hay rides in the orchard...Uhhmm...Some of them are just full blown farms
that are like amusement parks...Exactly! They always have something to do!
And you can even do this if you're, whether you're full timing or not! You
can plan a weekend around a place like this!
Arrive early on Saturday, stay the night, plan to stay into Sunday before you head
back home. And take advantage of whatever they have to offer at the one you've
chosen! So.... I really love that! Don't forget to click on the link in the
description below to take advantage of our promo code so you can get a discount
on your annual membership! And thank you to from the farm for a great place to
stay and Harvest Host for an awesome program! Seriously, this is a great
network! And.... Be sure to hit the SUBSCRIBE button
