  • Growing Up, Not Out: How Vertical Farming Could Bring Fresh Food Closer to Home

    Growing Up, Not Out: How Vertical Farming Could Bring Fresh Food Closer to Home
    2026/09/16
    What if more of the produce in your grocery store could be grown just miles away instead of traveling across the country?

    This week on *American Family Farmer*, host Doug Stephan (www.eastleighfarm.com) welcomes Aaron Fields of Eden Green Technology to explore how vertical farming and controlled environment agriculture could help reshape the way America grows and distributes fresh food.

    Aaron shares his background in agriculture and greenhouse production and explains the story behind Eden Green Technology, whose founders set out to develop a more localized approach to growing food. He breaks down how the company uses greenhouses and vertical growing systems to produce crops year-round while using significantly less land than traditional farming.

    Doug and Aaron also examine one of the biggest challenges in our current food system: distance. Produce can travel hundreds or even thousands of miles before reaching consumers, affecting freshness while adding complexity to the supply chain. Eden Green’s model places growing facilities near distribution centers, allowing food to move from harvest to store shelves much more quickly.
    They also discuss partnerships with local farmers and universities, Eden Green’s work in Texas, and the potential for controlled environment agriculture to complement traditional farming rather than replace it.

    It’s a conversation about innovation, decentralizing the food supply and what could happen when we start growing more of our food closer to the communities that eat it.

  • From Screwworms to Smartphones: New Challenges Facing Rural America

    From Screwworms to Smartphones: New Challenges Facing Rural America
    2026/09/16
    From an old agricultural threat making a troubling return to new research that could change the way farmers manage pests, this week on *American Family Farmer*, host Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan (www.eastleighfarm.com) looks at a range of issues affecting farmers, families and rural communities.

    Doug begins with concerns surrounding the New World screwworm and the USDA’s response, including funding aimed at prevention and efforts to expand sterile fly production—a longtime method of controlling the destructive pest. He examines questions surrounding funding, preparedness and what a potential outbreak could mean for American livestock producers.

    The conversation also turns to promising agricultural research involving hemp cannabinoids as natural pest deterrents. Doug speaks with horticulture expert Aaron Fields about the possibility of using compounds produced by hemp plants as alternatives to conventional chemical pesticides and what that research could eventually mean for growers.

    Doug also remembers the legacy of writer, farmer and rural advocate Wendell Berry and his decades of work championing family farms, local communities and agrarian values.

    Plus, the show takes a broader look at life beyond the farm, including growing concerns about smartphone dependence, screen time and what some researchers and health professionals describe as “digital dementia.” It’s a wide-ranging look at agriculture, innovation and the forces shaping rural America today.

  • Beef Imports, Seed Control and the Policies Shaping American Farming

    Beef Imports, Seed Control and the Policies Shaping American Farming
    2026/09/09
    What happens in Washington has a direct impact on America’s family farmers.

    This week on *American Family Farmer*, host Doug Stephan examines several developing issues affecting agriculture, from foreign beef imports and the outdated Farm Bill to seed trading and the ongoing debate over glyphosate.

    Doug begins with the controversy surrounding imported beef and whether bringing in more foreign product actually lowers prices for American consumers. He also looks at consolidation within the meatpacking industry, government regulations affecting meat processing, and the challenges domestic cattle producers face in an increasingly global food system.

    The conversation turns to seed trading and concerns over who controls the seeds farmers rely on, along with the global nature of organic food production and questions surrounding where America’s food really comes from. Doug also examines industrial poultry farming, food safety and the political divide over glyphosate and Roundup.
