    Turning A Farm Organic
    Oct 1 2025
    Doug welcomes Julia Barton, a passionate organic grower and the driving force behind Octagon Acres and Northridge Blueberries & Chestnuts in Conneaut, Ohio. Julia and her family raise heritage Soay and American Jacob sheep, grow certified-organic vegetables and seedlings, and invite visitors to experience pick-your-own blueberries and chestnuts along the beautiful Lake Erie shoreline.

    Beyond her own farms, Julia is the Farmer Services Director at the Organic Farmers Association, where she champions policies that strengthen and support certified organic producers nationwide. With a background in environmental science and rural sociology, Julia brings a unique perspective on sustainable food systems and the challenges—and rewards—of organic farming.

  • The Autumn Harvest

    The Autumn Harvest
    Oct 1 2025
    Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com shares why he created the American Family Farmer program before jumping into the news affecting family farmers, beginning with the news that farmers and the Autumn harvest are worried about low crop prices, the trade wars and what tariffs are doing to their livelihood. It’s lead to a lot of farm-state law makers are putting pressure on President Trump to offer economic aide for farmers by the end of the year.

    Then, Doug breaks down challenges for the pork industry, the American market, and the need to align with the entire value chain along with packers.

    Lastly, Doug shares the story of 6 workers on a dairy farm being killed from cow manure. Here’s the thing, that’s not what actually happened. Doug uses this story to point out the danger of people only looking at a headline and not reading a full article. Doug breaks down the facts of the story and why not all news sources are reputable.

  • Guardians Farm: A Veteran-Owned Dairy With Heart

    Guardians Farm: A Veteran-Owned Dairy With Heart
    Sep 24 2025
    Step onto Connecticut’s only veteran-owned dairy farm, where every drop of milk is lightly processed, vat-pasteurized, and bottled right on the property. Guardians Farm in scenic Southbury is the passion project of David Buck, a retired U.S. Coast Guard Maritime Enforcement Specialist and former K9 officer, and his wife Tamra French, an active K9 officer. Together, they’re first-generation dairy farmers on a mission to produce clean, nutrient-rich milk while caring for the land through regenerative practices.

    Meet their beloved herd—Holsteins, Jerseys, and Brown Swiss—and learn how each breed contributes its own rich flavor and butterfat magic. From calf cuddles and goat snuggles to a welcoming farm stand stocked with minimally processed dairy, every visit lets you see (and taste!) where your milk comes from.

    Discover how David and Tamra nurture future generations of cows with group-raised calves, selective genetics, and zero-chemical fields. Whether you’re savoring their fresh milk, booking a weekend cuddle session, or simply curious about sustainable farming, Guardians Farm offers an unforgettable, hands-on experience.
