For six generations the Doudlah family has been waking up before the birds, and during harvest season, often calling it quits under moonlight. Over the years, the farm was conventionally ran, but that all changed in 2008, when Mark Doudlah transitioned the Doudlah Farm to a certified organic operation.

The transition is largely due to his father’s passing in 2011 from a form of cancer called Mantle Cell Lymphoma, also known as: Midwest Farmers Cancer. The traditional farming that Mark and his father practiced for years relied heavily on the chemical, glyphosate. In 2015, the World Health Organization classified glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic to humans.”

The Doudlah family’s passion for organic, regenerative agriculture leads them to believe in putting the health of the land and people over profits.
