Our Biggest Moments in 2023

In addition to those milestones, we also launched several new projects, products, and programs this year.

The Adventure Series

This year, we launched the Adventure Series, where we chronicle the experiences on the road of RV influencers. This is a great series for beginners to get guidance and practical knowledge from newer and seasoned RVers alike.  Follow along with the YouTube series here

The Adventure Ready Program

This year, the Harvest Hosts team partnered with RV dealerships and manufacturers to launch the Adventure Ready program. This partnership means that all RVs sold by participating brands Jayco, Blue Compass, Campers Inn RV, and Grech RV will be evaluated and verified to confirm that they are self-contained and meet all of Harvest Hosts requirements, which allows owners of these rigs to easily confirm that they can park overnight at any of Harvest Hosts' 8,000+ locations.  Learn more about the program here.

The Harvest Hosts Aleblazers

At the end of 2022, we announced we were hiring an Aleblazer to travel across the country and have the Harvest Hosts experience at all of our brewery and distillery Host locations across America. This year, we hired Glenn and Nita Hughes to complete the task.  Hear the story of their experience on the Roads and Stays podcast Roads and Stays podcast , or [watch their YouTube video]
