Wednesday, March 5 - Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com shares the news affecting small farmers in America, including a focus on the rising price of eggs and how much of it is because of the Avian Flu vs grocery stores raising prices because of supply and demand and many local farmers have not risen their prices when you visit and buy from them directly; and why hobby/backyard farmers should pay attention to what’s going on because they’re not exempt from having their hens contract the bird flu either. Doug also discusses things for farmers to watch in our nation’s capital with the new administration with the EPA, the tariffs, the farm bill, immigration, the tax bill and how it all impacts family farmers. Then, Doug introduces us to his friends, Nate and Judi Shattuck of Shattuck’s Sugarhouse. Judi and her late-husband, Wil, started the sugaring their parents suggested the endeavor and now Judi continues with her son, Nate. Shattuck’s Sugarhouse has been producing maple syrup for nearly 50 years on their family farm in Belchertown, Massachusetts. It’s a small family operated sugarhouse located in a quiet wooded area and their registered Devon cattle. During the sugaring season, they offer group tours, and their maple products include maple syrup, maple cream and maple candy, available year round, and they offer shipping. You can find them online at fb.com/shattuckssugarhouse. Lastly, Farmer Doug opines how social media groups are pushing negative comments and affecting family farmers and why we should all make it a priority to go online and leave positive reviews.

Wednesday, February 26 - Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com shares the news affecting small farmers in America, including a focus on the Senate’s overwhelming approval of Brooke Rollins for United States Secretary of Agriculture, new findings that the avian flu has hit cattle more severely than originally suspected, and a report on the American Soybean Association and the American Sugar Beet Growers Association calling on the EPA to work with them to reform the endangered species act and how it applies to pesticides. Next, Doug introduces us to Claire Benjack of River Road Farm in Franklin, VA ( RiverRoadFarmVA.com ). Claire explains her farm is more of a passion project as they barely break even, but he priority remains to put healthy food people can feed to their children, which is a big reason her eggs are so popular — not only are they healthy, but she refuses to raise her prices. When Claire was 10, she asked for a farm. Her dad had been thinking about buying a farm on which to raise cattle. This farm in Franklin came on the market, so he bout it and had a short stint in finishing cattle. Up to a thousand head roamed the family acreage. The farm ended up being unsuccessful, so he moved on, and then passed away in 2001. Claire read “Omnivore’s Dilemma,” a nonfiction book investigating the environmental and animal welfare effects of various food choices, when she decided to get into farming again. Claire sunk a bunch of money into fencing, started with 5 cows and sold those to friends. She slowly grew to where the farm is today, using money that her dad had invested for her. Claire says they never break even on the farm, and calls it her lemonade stand; it keeps her busy. Claire’s husband had the idea of holding concerts on the property, and they gave all the money to the local food bank. They consider themselves more philanthropists than farmers. At River Road Farm, they care deeply about the food they eat, and that’s why the farm abides by the philosophy of grass-feeding their cattle, naturally, in order to create the most wholesome and high-quality beef. A strict grass-only diet, as opposed to a grain-based diet, gives cattle a higher quality of life, which in turn provides a higher quality, more heart-healthy product. Lastly, Farmer Doug opines why smaller farms are better than the big agri-business farms and why respecting the animals and the land on farms is imperative to contributing to healthy, better quality food for our loved ones.

Wednesday, February 19 - Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com shares the news affecting small farmers in America, including a focus on Ohio growers hard hit with the Avian flu, how many farmers are introducing solar farming to their otherwise agriculture farms, and the National Organic Coalition urging an action alert for restoration of funding for core organic programs. Then, Doug introduces us to Curt Rich, President and CEO of the North American Insulation Manufacturers Association (NAIMA). When you think about multigenerational farmers, or anyone who has purchased an existing farm, it’s no shock the homes farmers reside in tend to be quite old and energy inefficient. There’s a 30% tax credit on insulation that can help make your home more energy efficient that farmers and agriculture enthusiasts should be taking advantage. Doug and Curt further discuss the specifics about the current tax credit and benefits, improvements homeowners are allowed to make, and keeping warm with lower heating costs this winter and the years to come. For more information, visit insulationinstitute.org . Lastly, Farmer Doug opines Ag policies in general, what technology is allowing us to do to move forward, how the choices of congress is affecting small farmers, and the latest on the Farm Bill.

Then, Doug introduces us to John Filbrun of the Maker’s Meadow, a farm in Ohio with a focus on sustainable farming practices, ethical animal welfare, and climate friendly agriculture. The main thing that makes The Maker's Meadow different is they believe they have a responsibility to help bring healing to places in our world that are broken. God has given them the resources available to help bring healing to our environment through regenerative farming practices, and to help bring healing to people by offering nutrient dense meat that has been raised in an ethical way. The food people eat should be healing, not destructive. A diseased life can be prevented. Every person should have confidence in the food they are eating and the benefits it brings to their bodies. You can learn more on TheMakersMeadow.com.

Wednesday, February 5 - Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com shares the news affecting small farmers in America, including the news that eggs have become political as the price continues to go up, yet the farmers are receiving even less of that money, and a focus on the Avian Flu and how that’s also affecting the price and availability of eggs. Poultry farmers are being asked to tighten bio-security, a conversation on tax season. Doug discusses that, too. Then, we’re introduced to George Lewis, President of Ventura Grain, a hometown store for everything lawn and garden serving the southeastern, MA, for over 90 years. George, grew up on a “gentlemen’s farm,” studied at Bentley University with degrees in finance, economics, and earth sciences & sustainability before pursuing a post-college career as a private wealth advisor. Deciding to return to his agricultural roots, George purchased a 100-year-old grain mill. Ventura Grain continues to manufacture and sell their own brand of animal feed with a focus on quality. You can find George and his company online at VenturaGrainInc.com. Lastly, Farmer Doug opines ear tags for cattle, the modernization of the Dept. of Ag, and the Senate’s agenda regarding climate change. Doug covers that, too.

Wednesday, January 29 - Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com shares the news affecting small farmers in America, including the government taking on John Deere under accusations of a monopoly, in part due to the ongoing battle for the farmers’ right to repair their own equipment, questioning if investing in old equipment has a better ROI than purchasing new farming equipment and machinery, and a poultry-grower payment system. Next, we’re introduced to Anne Gentry, a first generation farmer, of Braeburn Farm in Rosalind, Virginia. Braeburn Farm is a small family-owned farm with Scottish Blackface sheep and Galloway cattle. Anne and her husband, Richard, fell in love with Scottish Blackface sheep and Galloway cattle after working with them in Scotland, deciding they needed them to be part of their farm in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Their flock consists of 30-40 breeding ewes and several rams, with lambs being born each year in March and ready to sell by June. Lastly, Doug opines the customer service side of welcoming people to your farm and what family-owned farms are doing to support their customers’ decision to continue purchasing from their farm, and why constructive criticism is always valuable.

Then, Doug introduces us to Jim Linne, MD, a first generation farmer and owner of White Clover Farm. The farm is family owned and locally operated, and is certified 100% grass-fed by the American Grassfed Association. White Clover Farm tracks their cattle from birth to consumer to ensure they remain a safe and healthy food. Jim has seen first-hand the connection between good nutrition and health, as he practiced gastroenterology for 35 years before dedicating his time to the farm, which he’d purchased in 2005. The property was a former corn and soybean farm and, to minimize soil erosion, all of the fields have been converted to permanent pastures and hayfields. The goals of White Clover Farm are land stewardship, sustainability, regeneration of soil fertility and biodiversity. The health of soils, plants, animals, and people is inextricably linked, and Jim does everything he can to keep the cattle happy and healthy, and without the use of chemicals of any kind on his pastures or cattle. Lastly, Doug opines the provisions for farming and agriculture under the new Trump administration, which actually goes back to his first presidency, as well as the importance of a system that rewards farmers for the value of the work and the quality of the product produced on the farm.
