Doug Stephan, host and American Family Farmer, www.eastleighfarm.com begins with news of a new study that shows that 3/4 of American consumers want to buy products from local farms. Also news that meat prices have gone up 21% since the pandemic began. Next, we meet Dave Chapman, owner of Longwind Farm www.longwindfarm.com and founder of the Real Organic Project www.realorganicproject.org and www.keepthesoilinorganic.org Long Wind Farm began in 1984 with Dave and a team of oxen. For three decades, they have provided New England with truly delicious and organic tomatoes, grown in Vermont soil. The Real Organic Project was started by farmers to protect the meaning of organic. They grow food in soil, not hydroponically. They raise livestock on pasture, not in confinement. Dave says: "The USDA has failed farmers and eaters to protect organic." Finally, Farmer Doug advises farmers to become advocates of local law enforcement and help the to understand what we do.
