Hello, my fellow Whidbey wanderers, nature lovers, and people who probably have at least one friend who owns a goat. Welcome back to Local Whidbey with Magsy, where we shine a light on the brilliant, bold, and occasionally bee-covered folks making magic on this island.

And today, are you in for a treat. We are talking with the fabulous Marie Fiore, the powerhouse behind Fainting Goat Farms and Whidbey Island Honey. That’s right, people—this woman is living the dream, running a farm filled with adorable fainting goats and producing some of the best honey you will ever taste.

Now, if you’ve ever wondered what it takes to run a farm, wrangle goats who *literally* pass out when startled, and care for thousands of buzzing little honey-makers—all while keeping your sanity—Marie has the answers. We’ll talk about the joys, the chaos, and the sheer stickiness of farm life, plus why Whidbey is the perfect place for it all.

So, grab your tea (maybe sweeten it with a little Whidbey Island honey?), sit back, and get ready for a conversation that’s equal parts heartwarming, hilarious, and probably just a little goat-filled.
