American Family Farmer Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com and host of this podcast begins with news about an Ag Appropriations Bill that calls to stop the purchase of American farmland by China. Did you know that most of the Salmon caught in America is shipped to China for processing, and then shipped back here? Next, we meet an expert in sustainable farming, innovative planting and harvesting techniques, and one of the most trusted names in vegetables, Lee Jones. www.farmerjones.com and www.chefs-garden.com His story is inspirational about how in the 80s, when the recession hit, his families once booming soybean farm. The farm was foreclosed, and everything sold. But they rented farmland and refused to give up and slowly built it back up to a very successful business. His new guide and cookbook, THE CHEF'S GARDEN: A Modern Guide to Common and Unusual Vegetables—with Recipes, he shares a wealth of knowledge on how to select, prepare, and cook vegetables. The book is a vegetable bible! In Doug's commentary section he echoes Lee Jones's inspirational message of being innovative and not giving up.
