11/06/19 - Small Group of Fishermen Make it Big-time!
American Family Farmer Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com begins with interesting figures on the largest cities in the country for transfer of food, and then news about the struggles that young people are having trying to find land to use. Next, we meet Ryan Horvath, Fleet Manager of Sitka Salmon Shares. https://sitkasalmonshares.com/ Sitka Salmon Shares is a Community Supported Fishery (CSF) and a members-based organization that allows you to purchase a “share” of the harvest of one of their independent, small-boat family fishermen. You enroll at 3 to 9-month intervals. Each share includes a specific selection of the species that they harvest. In 2019, these species include wild Alaskan king salmon, sockeye salmon, coho salmon, keta salmon, lingcod, black bass, black cod, Pacific cod, yelloweye, rockfish, spot prawns, Dungeness crab, albacore tuna, and halibut. They also discuss a documentary film called "Last Man Fishing." http://www.lastmanfishing.com/ The film is a look at the vastly changing seafood system through the lens of small-scale fishermen across the United States. Finally, Farmer Doug opines about the modernization of the Family Farm.
