marketing specialist and a pretty talented person
I was able to visit his place about 8 years ago!!! I cannot believe you got a 1 on 1!! Brilliant man! Yay!
Joel is an American farming icon. A true gentleman farmer. Great video.
Joel Salatin for President!
His final words were so inspiring. God's design is the best design, of course. So glad to hear it said out loud today! Great interview.
Yes, it was great to hear those words from him! Thank you for commenting.
-the Shepherdess
We are closing on our 22 acres on June 6th. My son and I both have a sales background. Marketing is a process, I have been marketing a company my dad and I started 21 years ago in an industry I don't enjoy so I am looking forward to this new phase.
I love this man. What an inspiration! I could listen to him talk all day :D
Me too!💯🙌 He is such an encourager too. ❤️
Just to add how to start: Joel’s daughter-in-law said in an interview how simply one might start marketing. Raise 100 meat chickens (they have a system that works) then keep fifty for consumption and give away 50 to prospective customers. I think they started their massive chicken enterprise close to that way.
Primal Pastures in California ordered about 50 and the family got upset. They took orders ahead from prospects and sold out. They do thousands now a d still sell out!
Good interview!
Great input! Thank you for sharing.
-the Shepherdess
One thing about Joel that I love is that he understands that the more people doing it, the more it benefits us all. You seem to get that also. Your newness is refreshing. Where I live (N. Illinois) 2-10 acre properties are selling sight unseen to "urbanites" who can afford more options.
The best part for me in this video was hearing Joel say “most farmers don't like people”. 😂 I thought that was just my case. 😄 Thanks for the video and channel.
I’m a doctor trying to be a farmer!!! So much to learn!!
I’m a fashion designer that became a farmer: you can do it!!! -the Shepherdess 🐑🌱
Former mechanical engineer here turned produce farmer, going into 4th year. Best to you and your endeavors!
Can you somehow transition to a vet? That would be super useful to yourself and farmers in your area.
Construction worker here.... Thinking about transition for years since I changed my diet to keto.... But have no clue about anything yet....🙂
Great episode! Joel Salatin is a personal hero. Likewise, your youth, energy and commitment to regenerative farming (and marketing!) give me hope for the future. Keep up the good work!!
So stoked to have stumbled upon your amazing channel. Super inspired by what you are doing, stoked that you got to talk to Joel, he is a living legend as you will soon be.
One life, One Search,
Shane
Love when I find regenerative farmjgn people who are believers and give God the credit He is due for this all! Blessings. :)
Yes, urbanites, come to the country! We’d love to have you.
Let a thousand flowers blossom...
more to the point of land use... if everyone ran chickens behind their cattle instead of just having cattle or just chickens you get 2x the use of the land.
Thank you Grace for bringing Joel on. It was such a blessing!
It was my pleasure! I appreciate your comment. -the Shepherdess 🐑🌱
Really enjoyed this talk with the godfather of permaculture pasture farmers
I had heard good things about him but this interview totally blew me away. I wish there was a transcription I could print and have as a little book on my shelf. I had heard someone say they thought Joe might be a little into the green peace movement, but I am now wondering if that wasn't just because he's done classes and marketing that targets green peace groups. ;) If so, that's a relief. Really impressed with this amazing guy beyond my expectations. Thanks so much for this interview!!
The struggles of rural internet are so real 😓. But great interview!
Thank you so so much Grace and Joel for this. I am watching this on Sunday here in the Fiji Islands in the South Pacific and we can relate to it. There is a strong move to regenerative farming but you just motivated me to be a champion of regenerative farming here in Fiji and yes, we need to live by the Lord's principles.
My prayer is for the Lord to bless you both and those that are part of this initiative guided by his holy will.
Thank you so much for your prayers! I am so grateful.
-the Shepherdess
Thank you so much for your awesome discussion, which goes way beyond farming to basic principles regarding why we are where we are today; not a pretty place. We need more diversity, not less. Decentralized, grass root approaches to how we deal with issues in life, not one size fits all. Independence, not dependence....
Finding people who want to help other people is key to direct marketing beef chicken eggs etc. My pharmacist is my very best salesperson for my natural food products.
Wow!! What a great interview full of useful advice!! 🔥
Add another M for “motivated”. After watching...I’m motivated! Nice work and informative uplifting interview. Much wisdom! Thank you:)
That was wonderful, very insightful! I'll soon be listening to this again on Spotify. It's given me some wonderful ideas about my future farm and business plans.
Thank you!
Such a great video!!!!!! So informative, and I really enjoyed learning more about regenerative farming!! Keep up the great work! 👏🏻👍🏻😁
Great interview. Keep the videos coming, I look forward to each one.
Wish I could give you more than just one thumbs up. Great talk! God bless.
Thank you so much, Carolyn!!

Is hard to have more water in the landscape in communist colorado. I can listen to Joel for days. He is so humble
Agreed, his humility is inspiring!

@@theShepherdess 🐊🇺🇸🦅👍
Crazy how my land got all these dips in it that keep filling up when it rains, mr gov inspector.
That was well worth the hour. Thank you
Great interview, I really learned a lot . Going to listen through again and let it soak in. No pun intended.⛈💧
Thank you!!
Great interview Grace. Great thought out questions and you pulled the best out of Joel. - Grandpa David
Thanks, Grandpa David. 😉😁
-the Shepherdess
Great interview! Just starting out farming to give my family good food and maybe make it our life good luck. Your doing awesome Joel is a great teacher.
Thank you! I really appreciate your support.
-the Shepherdess
More small farmers is the best way to have a healthy food supply.
We need a goverment that make tax
laws that breed more risk and help farmers add more dirt.
Love the people that are on the frontline.
God Bless all of you.
That was incredible. Great questions! My wife and I are leaving Commifornia and are going to start a family-farm. (I know, ''Don't come here and vote like a lib-tard'', got it!) Haha. I've read most of his books. They're on the shelf next to the Bible.
Excellent
Thank you for your videos. I have found many of them to be very helpful as my wife and I journey down our path to regenerative farming.
Thank you, William!
Love This!! Thank you!!
Thank you very much filled a lot of gaps I had
This was so great thank you. I wish someone could come out and show me how to get rid of all this moss on my small 3.8 acres. My poor animals suffer.
Maybe look for animals that eat moss? I don't know.
Bucket list check. Great interview.
Great interview! I love listening to Joel 😊
Thanks for commenting! Glad you enjoyed 👍🏻
-the Shepherdess 🐑🌱
great interview you can learn so much from Joel. a very positive video
Agreed! Thank you for commenting.
-the Shepherdess 🐑🌱
Hello to both of you!
Well done. Joel is the greatest!
Thanks so much for commenting!
-the Shepherdess 🐑
just awesome
Joel's the best
Great stuff . loved it from OZ
Great interview !!....Regenerative Farming for the win ....cannabis growers are on this too !!
Love your work and Salatin, if I could offer one tip is reduce the background music or just cut it completely while you two are talking, it makes it harder to hear and is a bit distracting. Everyone here is interested in what you two have to say, no need to add production for the meat and potatoes of the interview to keep peoples attention. Great work here though love it. Edit I see it stopped a little after I typed that☺
I met him at mother earth new fair very good guy
Nicely done. Relevant questions
Thank you very much! Very encouraged to have your comment. -the Shepherdess
Good stuff, keep up the good work!
Thanks very much! 🐑🌱-The Shepherdess
good questions
This wasn't an interview, it was a sermon!
FYI, I'm not religious at all but, if I were, this would be church for me.
Joel speaks things I've thought all my life and of things related, that I never thought of.
He speaks my soul.
Now, in my own words:
In your lifetime, accumulate knowledge.
Do and act on things you know to be true.
Too many of us will just take what we're told as truth or direction.
We need to think for ourselves, FOR OURSELVES AND OTHERS.
I live in a big city and find it increasingly unbearable the amount of "ME" I'm surrounded by.
IMO, We as a culture need to reconnect with the definitions of WE and CULTURE.
Only then can the world fast track toward the healing we so desperately need.
Repent and believe in Jesus Christ. Recieve hope that when you die (how soon is short life over!), you will be resurrected and your soul and body saved from death/hell. Jesus paid the price for even the worst of sinners, if you believe, his sacrifice will save you. If you do not believe, there's no point in anything else and your life if meaningless.
I like what you say about prisons. The fact is. Most people whether guilty or not are forced to plead guilty. When it comes to crime. Be careful what you believe. By my own experience. I have learned not to believe anything in the newspaper about crime. With a few exceptions.
Bs, I work in prisons and 99% of them claim to be innocent. They never did anything of course.
I'm a farmer who doesn't like people. I'm terrible at marketing, but I literally always try to do it on my own. 😬
Rural WiFi struggle! Great interview!
It’s real! 😂 thanks for watching and commenting!
-the Shepherdess 🐑🌱
You can learn something new everyday. Nice!
yes, sir!
-the Shepherdess
LOOOOVEE This!!!!😍😅
Awesome thanks
Thanks for commenting! -the Shepherdess 🐑🌱
We sub to anybody that interviews this man. 🤘👋😁
Wise man
14:46, never underestimate the destructive power of government. Get rid of subsidies and red tape, conventional farming will be over in a few years.
Amen.
Great interview ...great info ...thank you and God bless.

Loved the interview. Thank you! Constructive criticism: cut the background music when people start speaking. ;)
You aren’t the only one. 😅 I uploaded a music-less podcast version which you can find by searching “the Shepherdess” in iTunes/Spotify.
Thanks for your support!
-the Shepherdess
Can you make a video on carbon and it’s importance on the mini ranch, please? Very confused about it’s role on the homestead, but I keep seeing it repeated in videos from experts. In our search for land, how does this come into play?
People wanting to learn more. Buy the book polyface design book, the book just came out on infer-structure on poly farm.
What is infer structure ?
Do you mean infrastructure?
Great video! But What’s with the intermittent ding on the subscribe button? The Audio seemed way louder than the interview ...maybe it was the ear buds? 😅
Rookie video game during mistake.... sorry about that! But glad you enjoyed the interview. 😄
-the Shepherdess
So what you want is for people to work for as long as they can but once they can't they're part of the family right?
😕
Farmers that don't like people
🤔
I can relate
🤷
Wait now, what's the connection between a cow and a Macdonald's hamburger?
😂
🇺🇸👍👍👍OK
Great information- next time please don’t put music in the video...it’s very distracting.
Thank you very much! I have it in podcast format with no music. Just search “the Shepherdess” wherever podcasts are found (this is episode 1).

When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth. Genesis 4:12
Great Verse! Thank you.
-the Shepherdess
@@theShepherdess Love how you end every vlog with a Bible verse, I got inspired to shear one of mine. You should tell your sister to look up the channel " Growing back to Eden " for inspiration, Paul is truly an inspiration for me, and Nick is tagging along with implementing animals. Not every method work for all climate zones, so not to copy, just for inspiration. Personally I do not make hot compost I just cover the weeds I pulled and scraps with woodchips . God bless you for the work you do.
I find that even after a few years there is little black soil created by back to eden method, unless initially topdressed with compost, under the mulch. Doesn’t matter the depth. Of course, it is still a game changer as far as watering is concerned - having 8” + of mulch. And the clay is being softened and tunneled in more for there being the deep mulch, but still, it must take a really long time to make it dark and crumbly. I’m zone 8b hot summers, no rain at all for 4 months during the dry season. I imagine if one were in Alabama it would be a total waste of time to make compost for perennials, just deep mulch
Even a foot a mulch doesn’t produce any black duff/compost/humus layer after three years. This clay soil eats topdressed compost like nobody’s business. Put four inches down and a few years later and it’s back to the surface of the clay, albeit darker and more crumbly. That tells me that putting compost down really helps - put it under the mulch the the soil (life) can always be taking it in as they need it, not just collecting the drips coming out of the mulch.
I love anything with Joel Salatin in it, but the background music was too distracting. Only made it 4 minutes into this and had to quit.
Sorry about that Hillary, I uploaded it to my podcast with no musical background. Search “the Shepherdess” in your podcast store. This interview is Episode 1.
-the Shepherdess
Nice interview. Let your guest finish talking.
Thanks very much!
-the Shepherdess 🐑🌱
Please turn the music off this. It’s VERY hard to hear him.
The only issue I have with him/his method. He talks a lot not using any fertilizer on the property but I have seen him bringing grains in to feed pigs and chickens.. that counts IMHO!
we are way past the healthy ratio of farmers and folk in the countryside vs city folk to feed....its kinda of a problem that is at the base of many problems from politics, to drug abuse, to godlessness and lawlessness running rampant these days
The background music was too annoying and distracting that I had to stop listening. Why on earth must you play music during an interview!?
