In this engaging episode, we sit down with our friends Shawn and Beth Dougherty, veteran homesteaders who have been farming together since the 1980s. For the past 20 years, they’ve been cultivating their 27-acre farm in eastern Ohio—land officially deemed “not suitable for agriculture.” Despite the odds, Shawn and Beth have transformed this landscape into a thriving, self-sustaining ecosystem using sunlight, rainfall, and intensive grazing as their primary inputs. Their farm supports dairy and beef cows, sheep, farm-fed hogs, and poultry, producing nearly all their food and feed on-site.
Learn more about Shawn and Beth on their website or find them speaking at a Homesteading Conference or Festival near you.
Purchase their book, The Independent Farmstead.
