A farm tour with Tony Eash showcasing pasture raised farming and the challenges of direct-to-consumer food systems.
Our farm tour of Tony Eash's pasture raised pork, chicken and beef farm. Tony grew up farming alongside his brother Phil in West Virginia, learning animal care and haymaking at a young age. After the sudden loss of their father, the brothers leaned on their Mennonite community for support and chose to continue farming. Tony tours us through his farm, his way of life, and you're able to see how much he cares about farming, the land and animals, and the importance of delivering quality food to consumers. He's had a few battles with the government to get us his great food! All is shared in the farm tour. Enjoy.
