**Instructor: Luke Dougherty**

Luke is the son of Shawn and Beth Dougherty. He grew up homesteading, and in his travels with his family has spent time working as a butcher, blacksmith, shearer, ferrier and carpenter.

**Instructor: Brian Burke**

Brian Burke is a family physician and Navy veteran who returned to eastern Ohio with his family to practice medicine and run his small homestead.

Hosts: Brian and Johanna Burke have been married for 14 years and are the parents to five children. After living a transient lifestyle with the military while Brian served in the Navy as a family physician, they eagerly began to put down roots on their five acre homestead (Holy Family Farm) in eastern Ohio in 2019. Their small holding consists of a large garden, a dairy cow, a few Katahdin sheep, laying hens and intermittent pigs. Brian works locally as a family physician, specializing in restorative reproductive medicine and Johanna homeschools their children. Together they have been teaching and speaking about fertility awareness and the role of nutrition for almost twelve years.
