American Family Farmer

Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com begins with news about a bee farmer who was helped get back on his feet by other local farmers when his hives were destroyed by a bear, an Iowa bovine sanctuary was also helped by local farmers when his barn was destroyed. Next, we meet Greg Cohen, who is working with Farmer Doug to crate an "Agrihood." www.agrihood.com. Agrihoods are based around the concept of integrating farms and gardens into neighborhoods, allowing for the development of residential neighborhoods that have a rural feel. Integrating agriculture into neighborhoods also allows for communities to supply themselves with locally-produced food. Finally, Farmer Doug opines about the challenges facing farmers in 2023.
