“I’m a lunatic farmer, that’s my new catch phrase. I have a Ph.D. That stands for Post Hole Digger. Today we only need to buy toilet paper and Kleenex, everything else we make here. The only reason the framers of the Bill of Rights did not include freedom of food choice along with the right to bear arms, worship and speech was that they couldn’t conceive of the day when food would have to have a USDA sticker on it.”

– Joel Salatin, Polyface Farm, from www.organicconsumers.org

  1. I´ve been reading Salatin a lot lately, I´m thinking about giving pastured poultry a go here in Argentina, where the laws aren´t so repressive.

  2. I have a local farmer I get my chicken and eggs from that mentored at Polyface farm. Just to see his set up and how it works gives me such incredible feelings when I purchase my foods! This year he will be adding turkeys to his brood….YUM

  3. Joel Rocks!

    Decentralization is the future of the world! The signs of its happening are all around us. The opportunities are endless. The difficulty is for the TV generations to relearn to take responsibility for their own well being. In order to have freedom we must first realize that we need to be accountable for ourselves and cannot, under any circumstances, delegate that responsibility to anyone or anything else. Thank you Joe.

    appear to be dieing. Just hope they don’t get
    too crazy in their death throes.
