About The Dave & Paul Show
Two U.S. Army combat veterans, one farm, and no script. The Dave & Paul Show follows lifelong friends David Brecht and Paul Buckwalter as they trade their uniforms for work boots and learn farming the hard way: one hole, one plant, one mistake at a time.
Filmed by the hosts themselves at Brecht Mountain Farm in Pennsylvania, these reels are raw and real. Dave and Paul plant a lavender field from scratch, grow vegetables, hatch quail and chickens, haul feed from the local Mennonite farm, and turn what they grow into artisan products for sale. Along the way they explain what they are doing and why, give each other a hard time, and talk honestly about life after service.
Nothing is polished and nothing is staged. It is two veterans working the land, finding purpose in the dirt, and showing that the friendships made in uniform keep growing long after it comes off.
