Stephen Shepard is CEO of Farmer Focus, which was started with a simple but powerful question: How can we protect and promote generational family farming? From that question came a totally different kind of business model that gives farmers back control over their farms, pays fairly, and eliminates competition for compensation. It's a model built on respect, transparency, and shared success. It’s about more than food; it’s about protecting family farms and caring for people and the planet.
