Will do!
The world needs more Joel Salatins.
I’m tryin lol
Thats called family time, our society had been changed alot but after some time we will come to that point where family is important and together as united we can live our best life.
The pigs look very relaxed. Great to see them at least get a free roaming life.
This man is the first time I’ve ever heard the word moist and not cringed. Farmers are a different kind of men
Farming brings life back to Earth…..fresh air, new outlook on life, more appreciative of people around you, the energy of nature at its best!
“Nature is just a benevolent lover that wants to be caressed in all the right places.”-Joe Salatin
Who is Joe?
@@ddubsr5886 He's one of the foremost experts who was, over a decade ago, at the forefront of the "natural" (anti-factory farming) agricultural revolt. He's written quite a few books, made a few movies, and given many talks on the topic.
There's even a Ted Talk online here on TH-cam that he gave a few years ago, and you'll also find a few Joe Rogan interviews of his.
Great question! Thanks for the query.
Keep up the good work.

@@KelikakuCoutin or
i dont think im supposed to be here
Great video tho. Also what is the usual finishing weight of pigs
This comment has made me go far in thoughts. My mind is crazy
The whole world needs to farm like Joe Salatin and our food source would be clean. Like he said go back to the 50's before big pharma, when pork was proper and red. Again, thank you Mike for taking us all on your families journey of knowledge.
Back in the day everyone was encouraged to have a backyard garden... Now the food police come after you with all kinds of. Regulations that's why it's important to get involved locally in all your government city county offices.
This is the way agriculture is supposed to be. I love his farm. Sustainable and healthy. Thank you for sharing this.
It is how it used to be.
Probably the way it used to be. Long times ago.
Don't ever stop everything you're doing God loves it, growing, teachings and sharing this is a blessing for my family
this man shares a lot of wisdom we need to ponder about
The takeaway of this video is that farmers are not stupid, as society would have you believe. Farming is science.
"farming is science"
Well said!
Agriculture deals with nature and things you can't control, so farmers have to deal with objective reality (what science tries to establish) so they basically have to apply a scientific approach
Many urban careers are ultimately based on political, economic or social realities, all things that are created by people and arguably artificial and arbitrary, i.e. non-scientific. And the rules can change any time.
What I mean is that, with many jobs, their reality is dictated by the whims of people, e.g. politicians, customers, bosses, etc.
Whereas farmers have to deal with nature, which is unconcerned with the opinions of people, so they have to deal with cold hard facts
You all bless me with your positive outlook.
Those pigs look so happy
Oh My goodness! We know Daniel! He grew up here in Oregon! He's all the way over there? So happy for Daniel! WOW! God Bless You!
I'm so inspired by this video!!! My wife and I have been homesteading on 46 acres we purchased in Brandywine, Maryland. We have free ranging layers, 3 Yorkshire pigs and we just received our first order of broilers to raise.
That is awesome Thomas!! We are so glad that you enjoyed the video. Wishing you much success in the future.
You're one of the best interviewers I've seen on TH-cam. Good job man.
Wow, thanks!
I agree Mike, you are a gifted interviewer, great insightful questions and the way you let the person speak and be the star, yet you keep the interview flowing naturally.
He truly is excellent; quite the talented feller. I’m excited to see his continued growth on YT.
Joel for president 2020. Love him. You guys are blessed to have a great trip to Polyface, and thank you for sharing it!
You know he doesn't want anything to do with being a politician. LOL
@@ladykatza
We need farmers and statesmen, not politicians, to be president.
@@horsemumbler1 I mean, I'm not disagreeing with that sentiment. but Joel doesn't strike me as a man who would ever want to run for a government office.
@@ladykatza That's not something anyone sane wants to do, an It's an office that shouldn't go to anyone who wants it.
@@horsemumbler1 and Shakespeare wrote a play about what happens when one refuses power. These sentiments are timeless.
Oh my goodness! I just want to stand next to Joel and hope I gather some of that wisdom by osmosis! I don't know that I would be able to work the farm because of all the notes I would be taking with everything he was saying. Every time he opened his mouth it was another bit of wisdom coming out. Great great video
I wish we could have recorded him all day, such a treat to spend so much time with him.
I spent a lot of time on a farm as a child. Watching your videos helped push me and my family to invest in starting our own. Thank you.
That is awesome!
Thanks. I have a farm here in Côte D'Ivoire. I breed up local chickens. Your vidéos are inspiring for future change.. thanks much.
Joel is so incredibly knowledgeable I love listening to him!
Realllt are you even though about it???
That man is passionate about his view of the treatment of the animals and the science behind and because of it. I love the fact that you show pigs not only to be a meat product but also a creature that helps the land and can even help the people as well. Well done guys.
Gabby is adorable. Between Daniel, Gabby and I forget the other steward's name, I have renewed faith in our youth. We must impress upon them the values to continue this great experiment called the USA.
There are 11 stewards at Polyface right now.
Steward Gabi here! Thank you 😭. It's our calling! What we're meant to do and pass on for sure.
@James How are you doing
Hope we get to know each other with time and patience?
Lacie, your hair is adorable in pigtails.
Thank you!!
Lacie Dickson , I think so too. You looked especially nice today! I enjoyed the interview too
Lacie is a beautiful lady.
You know. . . .Lacie is adorable no matter what she does with her hair.
@@millennialhealth Yes Beautiful Lady Farmer!!!!
I live on the Cumberland Plateau, but the Shenandoah Valley is the most beautiful place I have ever beheld.
Hello From
Genesis rd.north east of Crossville 👍👍
I’m not that far from
Cumberland MD, and where I live is considered the Cumberland Valley, of the Susquehanna Valley River basin area in Pennsylvania!!! I’ve been to Cumberland MD many times... it is a lovely area both Cumberland and Shenandoah my Uncle Lives bear Staunton/ Churchville VA I bet Joel’s not far!!! I’m excited to think about visiting his car some day!!!
My two sons and I biked into Cumberland from confluence pa. Beautiful countryside!
@@nursesheris8777
his Farm,, not car..? 😉😉
@@janaprocella8268 yes farm.... typo!!!
Just bought 7 acres of land in Costa Rica. Can’t wait to get my farm going. Love your videos guys!
Costa Rica is awesome!
Wow. I'm blown away. I see the science and I recognize your passion.
At Michigan State they said seeds can last 50 years in dormancy. I guess under perfect conditions they would last longer. Thanks for Sharing.
Those are some happy piggies
I love to listen to Joel stories
Seems like all his interns loves it there
I love to see the enthusiasm in your n Lacie eyes when listening to Joel
God bless you
Mike you amaze me, I live in Winston-Salem, NC. Nice to know a homesteader close to me.
Those have got to be the happiest pigs on the planet!
Almost makes we want to try pork, even though I last had it in 1977. I think I must have known something was not quite right.
I no longer wanted to drink milk back in 1973 when we stopped getting it from Aunt Alvine in gallon jugs.
Yeah Farmers!
I love Gabby...she is definitely going to have a meaningful impact, no matter what she chooses to do. Passion is contagious.
Joel has mastered nature’s machinery, its system. He tunes decisions according to the factors of sunshine, rain, and seasonal variations. His animals are the gears that produce food from his husbanded land and all in harmony with God’s intentions. His conjecture about links between our thinking (cognition to Latin lovers) abilities and the nutrients we ingest are sobering. Thanks for this wonderful tour of a healthy farm that is inspiring a massive return to the land that sustains us all!
I was thinking of passing by this video, but I'm glad I didn't. The owner is a wealth of in-depth interesting information and its been a blessing hearing the dialogue going on between the young adults and the wise older man. He knows his husbandry science and just look at the results! Thanks, Mike and Lacie for bringing us along! God bless those who work the land! : )
28:10 That pig was listening to his explanation just then. It caught its attention.
Joel’s father’s story of starting over at 40 ish is my favorite beauty from ashes story in Joel’s books. It’s also basically what we’re doing rn 😊❤️
His dad got hold of a crystal ball. Very glad they left when Venezuela was a productive and beautiful country. I was in Panama from 1990 - 1993 and at that time it was Colombia that had the issues. It's amazing to me how quickly a country can deteriorate due to leadership.
I love pigs 💕🐷 Thank you for this video. I grew up on a hobby farm with mostly 🐖. 💕
@Mrspink64 Great video, How are you doing
Hope we get to know each other with time and patience?
Mr. Salatin wrote one of the best books I ever read: YOU CAN FARM..... very fun reading and informative at the same time
More and more families are getting to know their farmers, and are spending more money on local regeneratively raised meats, to be healthier and reduce their medical bills. It’s great to see this change in our society!
I feed my pigs from a bucket twice a day, they like and trust me so much! One got out one time, and stayed in the yard, and came right back when I brought out the bucket.
If I could have a successful chicken and pig farm that would make me very happy!
He is correct and that’s how the Japanese do for there cows and sell there beef 100 a pound. Because of the care of there beef. He is on point and it is proven
I don't know if it's Japan or not but one of the Asian countries, guess what they do to their beef while they're still alive? They beat them with baseball bats to their senseless to tenderize the meat! That is wicked and evil I saw a video of it, that was snuck out!
You guys look so relaxed and excited. Nice pigtails Lacie. You are glowing. Great interviews with Joel and the different interns. Glad you guys finally got the golden nugget trip of a lifetime. Great content. Beautiful children.
Thank you!!
What a wealth of knowledge Joel has in farming. So glad you and your family got to do this vlog at Polyface.
Love Joel Salatin & Polyface Farms & the fact that they are sharing all their farming skills with so many! Truly A Blessing From THEM & GOD!
Thanks For Sharing!
Love❤ Ya'All & God Bless EVERYONE 🙌💯🤗😘
1950s genetics! Ha...vintage genetics just like bodybuilding- it was a good decade for aesthetics & function ;) Great content bro, thanks for sharing!
This has been a fabulous time learning about Joel and his farm, philosophies and seeing how his systems work.
Being from Atlanta, there wasn't a farm for me to be on during the school year. But my mother sent me each summer to my grandparents small, retirement dairy farm in Bucks County Pennsylvania. There on the 48 acre farm, Gramp had three cows, two chicken houses, one pig, so many apple trees, a Bartlett pear tree, and even a Bing cherry tree.
I followed him around all the time as a helper fascinated and watching. I had chores and did them every day.
Watching Justin Rhodes' videos has really taken me back to a lot of great memories. It makes me want to get started. I am lapping up ideas, especially about starting small.
So I am so thankful and happy to spend a lot of time listening and learning.
I have been somewhat of a gardener for many years, but now I am taking in so many new better ways that is very exciting.
At age 77, it may be a bit different for me, but I am still fascinated. I have thought maybe I am too lazy, but maybe not. Will you posted.
48 acre is not small
Thank you for your reply. No 48 acres wasn't small. Especially for one elderly gentleman to tend.
A comment Joel made about how stress-free living/grazing environments appear to create meat that is more tender and flavorful reminds me of something I read many years ago. It was about the processes used by kosher-certified butchers and the respect to be shown toward the animals to be killed. What Joel was postulating sounds like what kosher butchers have been doing for centuries.
You are such wonderful parents doing this for your children ❤🙏🏼
What really strikes me is how polite and patient you are. Allowing Joel to speak. There is more interaction as the video plays. Yet Joel is not offended. It's very obvious.
When you sat with Gabby.....she is an activist in the very best sense. She has identified a few issues. She is working, that is key.She is working very hard for change.. What ever little part of the world she touches will be made better.. There is no splintering or division created by Gabby's activities.
Thank you.
Just watched the last video... awesomeness!!
Well said Joe and thank you both for sharing your knowledge. Lovely to see all the Dickson family as always. Much love to you all.
What a knowledgeable and passionate individual. I could listen to him for hours.
Wow. Joel is fascinating to listen to! Thanks for taking us along and letting us "sit in on this class" so to speak. I learned so much watching this today! Love from Maine.
What a fabulous way of life! Gaby and Joel are great people. Many thanks
After watching a few of your videos, I am impressed with your interviewing skills. I love this series.
Wow, Joel is crazy smart. Just a wealth of knowledge and seems to have a passion for teaching.
G’day Mike Lacie & Family & Co ;-) Thank you so much for the absolutely terrific video tour of Poly Face Farm with Joel & Team. Your videos are so well done, informative educational and fun, you both have great speaking voices and it is a pure pleasure to listen to you both while I’m working on projects. Have you both considered writing and narrating books, I truly believe you have the creativity & what it takes!
Keep up the fantastic work educating and giving us a tour of your beautiful country, towns shops etc.
With many source blessings with truth love light laughter happiness joy fun play creativity adventures and may peace be with you all!
Victoria Australia xoxo
I agree. Their complementary energy kinda reminds me of Steve Irwin and his wife Terri. Mikes enthusiasm is very engaging and Lacie balances his personality ... feels so calm, comfortable, down to earth.
This man is a pleasure to listen to. Incredibly smart and articulate. The amount of knowledge in this video is better than any class on agro science you could get anywhere
Starting at 33:50 this message is so important especially for young kids and I'm so glad she shared this message with you. I regularly talk to my daughters about being able to improve and make incremental progress.
p,s
The old ways are the best ways, just like our ancestors have said.
Wish I had a person to teach me like this old farmer. People like this are gems to their communities.
what a smart man with interesting theories that make total sense..yes..Gabby is cute with a good head on her shoulders.
Wow...jam packed with wisdom and knowledge from a tried and true operation...! Greatly enjoy your interviews with the interns...Gabby especially was really open with sharing her experiences and learning venture. Some day in the future you may doing a similar video with her on her own turkey farm...!
Gr8 video. Looks like you had a very educational trip. Spending time with and videoing Joel Salatin with his livestock systems is definitely the cherry on top! Polyface farm looks beautiful. Shenandoah Valley is one of the most beautiful places in the USA.
Love the excitement in your voice! Great video
always enjoy hearing Joel! Thanks
WOW! What a great wealth of information!
I wish you best, brothers and sisters. Serbia here. Beautiful.
Joel is so rich with experience knowledge....priceless information! So glad you guys got to spend time at Polyface...and thankful your sharing. Gabby was an impressive young lady...she’s gonna have an amazing future!..Blessings🙏🏻💖
Lacie, I love your earings! Looks like an amazing trip. Thanks or sharing with us!
Loved this Mike and Lexie. Had not seen Polyface pigs in the forest before. Mostly hush chickens, turkeys, ducks and cattle. The pigs are very very calm and in super condition.
Great vid! Loved the "brother from another mother" joke!
BRAVO! BRAVO! I hope this gets 100k views! Mike & Lacy this interview was absolutely fantastic!! You guys did a great job. I have to say this is one of the VERY BEST interviews I have seen of TH-cam highlighting Joel Salatin. He was soooo relaxed with you guys, and the interview was funny and PACKED with so much great information. Excellent job, and thanks so much for sharing this with us!
That was a great interview with Joel. I learned a lot more just listening what he said and how he explained workings of nature.
Thank you Mike and family for taking me to Joel Salatins farm and share his wisdom in farming. This is how we should treat our livestock and land!😃🌈🤙
So cool. Really loving these videos from the farm.
May God bless farmers like this forever. May they continue to influence our world with such positive techniques. Wow. Impressive
Joel I love the way you do thingsThanks Mike
I'm so inspiring guys. I have a pineapple farming in Haiti now you inspires me again to have pigs in my farming too. I'm excited 😄😄✊🏽
I can go and listen to a farmer for days. Some great information from this farmer,, I wish I had him for a Naihbor. Have fun
Aww, I love her! 😁 Yaay Gabby!
Wow the excercise bit for succulent meat was a surprise! Great info on the electric fence and wooden gate. Ah Josiah made me chuckle with his "moving around" lol
Well done. Great job at promoting pork production with regenerative agriculture.
I'm an older subscriber, and I really like to see the way that you're improving this channel. I really liked the short video you did with your elder boy, in which you mentioned the 'Warrior Kid' books; also how you educate the viewers at the same time as you yourselves are learning, right on camera. Good job.
Thanks for the content.
Keep up the good work.

Thank you so much Mike for making these videos and sharing Joel, his stewards and his land and animals with us. Being an eccentric myself haha, I really appreciate Joel's view of life, the world and God's wisdom in it. Blessings to you, Lacie and the children.
Y’all do such a great job with these educational informational features. well done 👏🏽👏🏽
Man, I would love to visit his farm. You’re so lucky to have visited and hang out with the folks at Polyface.
I just loved watching those happy pigs!
Wow I didn’t realize Joel was not that far from my area!!! Would love to take a tour of his farm someday!! He’s probably a 3-4 hour drive at most.....
Not only is his land better managed but on top of that because he's shepherding the land rather than trying to own it the animals are happy all of his animals are happy God bless you all thank you for sharing this video he is a wonderful man I cannot wait to put my hands on his book again thank you so much God bless you for my family to yours
Joel Salatin is a REALLY intelligent guy. H e is like a physicist of Permaculture knowledge. So great you can spend time with him and his environment to learn more. I loved his pigs. So calm.
My First time watching your channel and it is awesome.I know I've just lost family members but still smiling and laughing at you guys.I 🙏 for everybody and their 👪 be 👌.
Great video...full of information. Thanks for sharing.
Gabbie is great. I love seeing the knowledge these stewards gain and carry on from these projects!
(thanks! ❤️
-gabi)
This could have been a documentary of my childhood. I grew up on a farm and we raised pigs just like this only we rotated them from mixed forest land through peanut fields after peanuts were harvested to clean up the residual crop. All of our pigs were gentle. I remember once a breeder asked my dad what kind of genetics he liked and he replied, "The kind that's good to eat!" This man is a very wise man. My father was the same type of individual. Rather than being forceful, He gently persuaded nature to work with him!
you guys and Gabby are inspirational. this is excellent work! keep it up!
Very inspiring....bravo Mike
Excellent information! I wish everyone would listen to Joel's wisdom. Thanks for sharing!!!
