Joel has obtained world-wide recognition for not only his innovative farming 
practices, but also his commitment to re-localising food economies. He is a 
champion of clean trustworthy food and advocate of the open gate farm policy 
("don't expect, what you don't inspect").

He has been featured in two recent food documentaries, including the Academy 
Nominated Food Inc. as the exemplary alternative to the industrial and 
poisonous food complex. Besides being the author of 7 inspiring books on 
farming, including "Everything I Want To Do Is Illegal", "You Can Farm", and 
his newest, "The Sheer Ecstasy Of Being A Lunatic Farmer", Joel also 
experienced wide spread awareness being featured in Michael Pollan's "The 
Omnivore's Dilemma".

Joel Salatin is a farmer who truly walks the walk. An exponent of balance, 
Joel’s family farm PolyFace has achieved remarkable success on multiple 
critical fronts which explains his central involvement in the RegenAG Series.

Besides Polyface Farm’s exemplary status as a truly regenerative operation 
(on countless levels), the Salatins also practice an infectious way of 
regenerative living which has inspired their local community to put their 
dollars (and faith) behind genuinely local profitable farms. Two days with 
Joel Salatin will prove a life-changing experience. Don’t miss out.

Joel Salatin is a masterful speaker whose humour and positive energy 
guarantees a rewarding workshop. Over two information packed days Joel takes 
us through his entire family farm operation from the production of pastured 
poultry (eggs, broilers, turkeys), salad bar beef, pigaerator pork, 
forage-based rabbits & forestry products through to the relationship 
marketing approach his family business has developed that has made Polyface 
Farm the internationally recognised, and strictly local farm it is today.

If you are a farmer, understand your potential to renew and inspire your 
local community through clean food. If you live in town, discover the power 
you have to patronise your local farms and decouple them from wholly unfair 
corporate forces. Help your local farmers transform their farms into 
profitable and wholesome operations producing food you can trust. Become 
instrumental in the conscientious transformation of the dangerously toxic and 
destructive food production status quo towards the wholesome regenerative 
model the Polyface Farms have proven wildly successful. With Joel you’ll 
reveal the astonishingly obvious steps we all must take towards a future that 
is beyond sustainable.

Act to regenerate your land, water & community.
