The couple moved to the big apple at the ages of 19 and 20 and then to Italy some 6 years later. Specifically, they relocated to an agricultural section of Le Marche, outside the town of Piobbico. There they began a farm, inn and cooking school known as La Tavola Marche. The website is LaTavolaMarche.com. Their inn and cooking school have been listed on the bucket list of cooking schools by USA Today, one of the 10 greatest Holidays in Italy for food & WInd by The Telegraph, and as one of the best cooking classes and food tours by Forbes. As if they weren’t busy enough, the couple also hosts a monthly podcast known as The Podcast from Italy with Ashley & Jason Bartner.
