Anita Avvisato is a Wayne County native. She and her husband Dave call Far Away Farms, a 14-acre farm in Cherry Ridge, home. Since retiring from a 20-year stint with a Scranton surgical group, Anita has focused her attention on their extensive gardens, a flock of free-range chickens, and the multiple honeybee yards they tend throughout the county. Far Away Farms’ produce, eggs, and honey are sold to local restaurants and merchants and also at the Wayne County Farmers Market and winter Main Street Market in Honesdale. When not involved with farm work, Anita enjoys reading, sewing, and visiting her children and grandchildren.

Anita is a guest in Episode 10: Kohlrabi.
