  • Summary

  • 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.
