In the full-length interview with Mark Doudlah, by Zen Honeycutt, of Moms Across America, Mark shares the fascinating use of modern farm equipment that facilities the best use of nature. He shows us how tractors he once used to spray toxic chemicals, now crimp or lay flat the cover crops like rye or vetch (peas) that fix nitrogen into the soil. With this method, the soybeans that are later planted in the crimped cover crop, using planting equipment with exact precision, have a living mulch to protect them from weeds and absorb more rainfall. The crops sequester more carbon when the soil has a higher organic matter content, supporting nature’s ecosystem.  Doudlah farms have pollinator borders and use “good bugs” and natural mineral amendments to increase the nutrient density of the crops.

We were fascinated, moved, and inspired by his story, dedication, and generosity. We think you will be too.

As a tribute to his father, human health, and life on the planet, the Doudlah Family Farm is offering a CSA Health Share program to Moms Across America supporters, AND they have generously offered to give 1% of all retail sales (like 1% for the Planet) to Moms Across America.

Mark and Lucy Doudlah are happy to say, “This CSA Health Share will include a variety of 15 of our Beans and our Milled Products.  This includes Rye, our proprietary Flynn Creek Whole Wheat, Cornmeal Flour, Whole Brown Flaxseed, Black Beans, Pinto Beans, Dark Red Kidney Beans, and Cranberry Beans. Each Season we will be adding new products. Coming Soon will be Roasted & Salted Sunflower Kernels and Buckwheat.

For example, in June, we will be planting Great Northern Beans, Navy Beans, and Yellow & White Popcorn, and expanding our Honey.

Sixth-generation Wisconsin farmers Mark and Lucy Doudlah and their family kicked the habit of GMO chemical farming and switched to organic regenerative agriculture in 2008.
