13 years and counting! The movement grows strong!
14 years later and this type of farming is becoming mainstream. Love it
This guy is spot on with everything he says and I hope he continues to spread his message around the place.
Good on him
He does- he's world-reknown and lectures all over as well as keeps up his farm as an example to homesteaders and big farmers.
Polyface farm is a fantastic example of innovation and understanding. Keep up the great work Salatins!
God, how I love this man. Thank goodness for what he is achieving and has achieved. He's a revolutionary.
This is the New Green Deal I am interested in!
Your awesome Mr. Salatin. I live in the central valley of California and the ol' farms like yours is nearly a thing of the past. I long for simpler times when local grown food went right to the local markets or you shopped at the farms themselves. Everything now is so Agri-Industrialized. Keep up the great work; you have a following.
I love Joel. He's terrific.
I love his system. He is improving the land he lives on.
This is the farming we need to return to.
I love this (1:57) he is not "driving" those cows, instead they are following him! True shepherding at it's finest!
The black and white chickens are barred rocks. Dominiques have rose combs; barred rocks have single combs.
We're doing the same thing as the Salatins on a much smaller scale in Illinois. It's great to see this in mainstream media!
Ill be setting up my farm to be a symphony of loving happy animals and microsystems as joel has done. thankyou joel for your wisdom
I could watch Joel Salatin talk for hours and always be intrigued
Although I'm a vegetarian, I'm so impressed with the farming practices at Polyface Farm. I learned about this through reading Michael Polin's book The Omnivore's Dilemma. Farming as it should be!
Thank you Joel and Daniel. You two give me hope for our world. Beautiful.
I seriously want to see this happen on a larger scale. I need to visit this farm...
Grassfed beef is cruelty free. Grain fed beef is hard on cows stomachs, giving them ulcers. These guys are awesome.
+Th3uNn3rV3d considering the cows get slaughtered even grass fed beef is not cruelty free.
TolaMady There is nothing cruel about a quick death. Their lives up to that point were also cruel-less. I'd say it's damn sight better than the industry standard.
I like this gut Joel Salatin, I think he is an ambassador to farming!
Love this man!! Ingenious, smart and brave. Everyone needs to see and learn from him.
Very well said! This is how all farms should be! This is the kind of farm I hope to have and my daughter hopes to have!
I can just watch this over and over again! I LOVE IT.
Well now ...that brought a big smile into my heart !!!! That is something to hear some inteligent people talking for a change !!! Absolutely great ! John Seymour has written some very interesting stuff about this about 70 years ago. Carry on with the brilliant job guys !!!
It actually balances itself out economically. What they spend in man power now, they save in cleaning up after a chemical shit-show that would result from Bayer/Monsanto type farming.
Rock on, Joel. We love you and what you're doing!
I love this clip and I really admire this kind of farming. Keep up the great work.
This is gold. Thank you
I have been quoting him for year. Been learning a lot from this man!
Wow. I love this whole concept and idea. He is such an amazing thinker and the concept is just outstanding.
Bless you, Mr. Salatin.
Joel is the king when it comes to the new revolution in sustainable farming. We have read most of his books and implemented many of his practices in one form or another
You and your family are a inspiration to us all, I am a big fan of your methods and look forward to implementing this natural sytem into our small farm
God bless you and keep up the great work
This way of a life style surely keeps me being an possiabilitarian and think this is the way to farm. As a farmer myself I say, keep up the good fight.
Wow felicidades a Joel Salatin. Saludos de Saltillo México
This is FANTASTIC! I love it, this guy is doing what many others should do. Wish he was in Ontario!
I love this guy!!
Joel Salatin is my hero. I wish I lived close to his farm so I could buy everything from him.
Joel is AMAZING!
What an inspiring project
Fabulous and simply obvious. Back to nature. Wonderful.
Inspiring! and yes we can be counted as one of the few that are proud to say - we are on a path to becoming small acreage farmers ourselves and our kid is doing it with us. Thanks for ther story ...
Love the way you farm
Love your farm and the work you did,saludos from Anaheim CA, rosy
Beautiful!
I think this is great. I literally grew up as a farmer/rancher's daughter. I never knew that I wasn't suppose to be proud that we were farmers. The only thing that scares me today is that if we don't get a hold on what the government is doing and a hold on our population growth then we will be unable to find the land to farm like this man. And it is critical that we stop both! Especially Mansato!
Love this guy!!
Kudos to Polyface!!! Keep up your brilliant methods!!! This is SUSTAINABILITY
That guy with that hat looks and sounds like champ. WHAMMY
AWESOME!!!!!! Very inspiring and probably a true hope for the future. Bravo!!
This man is brilliant! Super intelligent!
holy crap, this farm looks so beautiful and clean and natural!
I really wished we lived in a world/country where there were local farmers like Salatin available everywhere. This guy is awesome. This type of farming would solve many of the country's ills (pollution, global warming, food-borne illnesses, etc.)
love it!!
Love it. It's taken us many years to finally find our way of sustainable farming here in the Kentucky Bluegrass. Trial and error and perseverance has been our motto 😉✌🏼New way of farming lifestyle? Yes please! #newgenerationoffarmers
I am in Arizona and would love to know of any farms that are like your here. I love your ethos. Thank you for what you do.
wow i love your concept ,, thanks soo much for being an leader.. we can only wish other farm and learn from you ..
I love this guy
This is awesome!
I love the way this guy runs his farm! He is so in tune with his animals and with nature. I believe (I hope) that these methods will be the wave of the future.
We've had enough of the huge industrial farms, polluting the earth and making us all sick and obese. Our food should be grown locally. We need to reclaim our food supply and do it soon. Farming really shouldn't be an industry but a culture.
Great guy!
I LOVE HIM HE IS SO WONDERFUL AND SMART!
I like to think of a farm as a larger solar collector.
In order to maximize it's sustainability you have to close as many loops as possible and stop all leaks.
A leak is like when you waste urine or feces, if you let it go to waste you'll have to replace it from the outside. A leak could be produce sold off the farm and that too has to be replaced.
this guy is frigging awesome! he must be good at playing farmville
I read the book...I will no longer shop at Safeway or any major chain..I shop locally at PCC here in Seattle...and grow my own food
He is great guy I went to his farm last Saturday
This makes me happy 😁
If anyone is interested, there is a cool book called the Omnivores Dilemma, by Michael Pollan. It's about the author and how he follows the path of food from when it's made to when it gets to your plate.
man! that's some beautiful grass.
Love those bar-rocks
Hope to visit them someday
Absolute genius.
....may God as you may or may not understand him or her CONTINUE to richly bless the farmer!!!! That great big light bulb up there in the sky is the most neglected resource we have here on planet earth........wish I knew why! Wish I had me a plate a that free range chicken (or rabbit) for dinner tonight.........Thank you Salatin family!!!
Genius is a loosely used word, but truthfully i feel this man is a genius, He ideas and plans are a key to the proper way to raise meat. Great man who i envy and would love to meet. Truely my Hero
I am proud that my daughter hatched chicken eggs in our apartment, using a toy incubator. I am a daughter of a Math Professor, I am a registered nurse, but my dream is to be an organic farmer, help feed people clean food, that will make them be healthier, just like Joel. I never thought farming as being for low people, au contraire. G-d bless Joel Salatin and all people like him, that want to make this planet a better place.
I love that Joel calls his chickens "ladies".
I wish this is how all farms worked. This is a paradise, the animals are so happy, and there's actually grass. The Omnivore's Dilemma is an amazing book. I'm much more conscientious about the food I buy now after reading it.
I wish there were multiple Polyface farms all over the US, I'd buy my food there and nowhere else.
This guy is my farmer hero.
I think farmers are the salt of the earth and ones like this garner a huge amount of respect and admiration in my book. As much as I think this type of farming is great in moving the animals around the cycling them through, there really isn't any reason that 95% of what they are doing couldn't be automated too.
A great system, seems like it works well. Just have to accept the fact that if all our meat was grown this way, its going to be very expensive.
+peteheatb3 No, it wouldn't, because one of the reasons Salatin is such a thorn in the butt of Big Industry is that he sells directly to customer, and he asks (accoding to his website), $7/lb for beef brisket, $3.25/lb for a whole broiler chicken, $5.50/lb for Boston Butt, $9/lb for sliced bacon, $2.50/dozen medium eggs. Now, if you’re an American used to shopping at Safeway/Giant and especially Sam’s Club/Costco, those prices are shocking, but if you're an European like me, those are GOOD prices, only slightly above supermarket prices. I would GLADLY pay that for pasture raised! Here in the Netherlands you pay 20 euro for a 'free-range-ish' (they get more space and get to go outside for a few hours a day) 3 pound broiler chicken! Now THAT is ridiculous, imo, but probably because it is a very small market and one producer pretty much has the monopoly. As devildog3781 says, if most farms were doing it the Salatin way, prices would go down faster than you could say 'Chicken Little'.
this is awesome
I like this guy, he is sharp!
I wish more people would research this.
"...my son or daughter is going to be a FARMER!"
Well done
If you do a little research on Joel and his farm, you'll find that it was land formerly dismissed as depleted and unusable. His method of farming restores nutrient-rich topsoil, making land that's able to produce more grass, and more food. I think his method is truly sustainable. Although I agree with you, that for it to be sustainable on a large scale, people need to break their addiction to animal protein and stop the Meat Binge known as the first-world diet. Moderation!!!
Is there a practical way to implement these methods in the high valleys of AZ
Read about him and his farm in The Omnivore's Dilemma. Now I know what the Eggmobile really looks like.
You are inspirational to me
Awsome!
I like this farmer i to hope this will be the way of the future
This guy is Amazing ;)
I love it....I wish I could be a farmer!!!
Were Joel Salatin and his farm also featured in Food Inc? I liked that movie.
I want to have my own farm like this!
This is great!!!!! What state is this in?
The ending is just classic! You Chopain playing soccer moms!
haha, love the Ending "My sons gana be a FARMER!" and Shaytards fan FTW
It's the farmer from Food Inc, Great movie, everyone should watch it!!
@ellenranit The man is passionate in that which he believes. I admire that. We need to get excited about our life's work.
This is soo cool
This video changes everything. These methods can reverse the greenhouse effect
he just WENT after hillbillies I'm SCREAMING
