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. Authors of The Independent Farmstead, published by Chelsea Green in 2016, Shawn and Beth have dedicated themselves to reducing dependency on off-farm resources like fuel, fertilizer, and even electricity. They’ve identified grass conversion—especially through dairy ruminants—as a cornerstone of whole-farm sustainability. Their research and practical experience reveal how diverse animal and plant systems work together to create a self-sufficient, regenerative homestead. This was a casual, insightful conversation about their homesteading journey, filled with practical wisdom and a vision for empowering others to begin their own paths toward independence. This was also our longest episode because we had so much fun with our discussion and did not want to cut any of the valuable info. Whether you’re just starting out or looking for advanced insights into homestead sustainability, this episode is a must-listen!

In this quick "car chats" episode, Tim and Sophie discuss the state of the current housing market and why you should not wait on the sidelines. The interest rates are trending down with the Feds promising to lower them further, and a mass movement of buyers who have been waiting on the sidelines are entering the market now. Together, we've experienced these rollercoaster markets but real estate remains one of the more stable investments to hedge your bets on. We continue to actively help our clients sell and purchase their homes. In fact, we have three ideal homestead properties currently listed in East Tennessee for anyone desiring homestead living and seeking an easy transition from city living.

Join Tim and Sophia Eng on the latest episode of Call to Farms as we delve into finding the "Heart of Diamonds" in a deck of cards. Listen as they talk about the intersection of poker, game theory, and community building. Sophia’s father taught her how to play poker and they played in many poker tournaments together. More importantly, he taught her to know when to fold.  Discover how going “all-in”, a term familiar to poker players, takes on a new meaning in the context of building communities. Tim and Sophia share their experiences and insights on how the heart of poker can guide us in deciphering the true spirit of generosity, creating stronger, more connected communities. Tune in to a conversation that deals a winning hand of insights, where the cards on the table reveal more than just numbers. Join us in "The Heart of Poker," where the bets are high, and the payoff extends far beyond the poker table. _________________________________________ Join us at the Asian Ancestral Eating Weekend at Modern Stone Age Kitchen for a 2-day event with Dr. Bill Schindler and Sophia Eng!
