On the renowned POLYFACE farm in Virginia a different kind of farming is 
taking place
with Joel Salatin, a farmer who wants us to rekindle our relationship with 
food.


Please join Santa Barbara Permaculture Network on Monday, March 14, at the 
Paseo Nuevo Theater for the Santa Barbara premiere of POLYFACES, a 
documentary film about Joel Salatin and the renowned Polyface farm in 
Virginia that has been demonstrating some of the best regenerative & 
sustainable agriculture practices for over 40 years. 

In 1961, William and Lucille Salatin moved their young family to Virginia’s 
Shenandoah Valley, purchasing the most worn-out, eroded, abused farm in the 
area. Using nature as a pattern, they began the healing and innovation that 
now supports three generations.

Disregarding conventional wisdom, the Salatins planted trees, built huge 
compost piles, dug ponds, moved cows daily with portable electric fencing, 
and invented portable sheltering systems to produce all their animals on 
perennial prairie polycultures.

In time son Joel Salatin took the helm, teaching and authoring books on all 
that was learned at Polyface through the years.  Eventually the farm became a 
major demonstration site with hundreds of people visiting annually, sharing 
knowledge on how to produce food without harmful chemicals, while respecting 
animals in their care, and ultimately returning the farm to a healthy 
ecosystem.   

A Heinz Award winner,  Joel  Salatin was called the ‘most innovative farmer 
in the world’ by Time Magazine.  He was featured in both the Oscar-nominated 
film Food Inc., and Michael Pollan’s best selling book, The Omnivore’s 
Dilemma.  Joel Salatin is an inspiration to many thousands of farmers around 
the world.

The film's producer Lisa Heenan shared directing duties with daughter 
Isabella Doherty, chronicling the farm over four years of changing seasons.  
The film was produced by REGRARIANS Ltd., an Australian nonprofit established 
with partner Darren Doherty to provide resources for those who want to 
regenerate depleted landscapes.

Darren Doherty is one of the world's leading regenerative agriculture 
specialists, who has long advocated for the repair of broadacre landscapes as 
one of the solutions for climate change by sequestering carbon in 
biologically alive soils, and will be in Santa Barbara for a sold out 
workshop he will be teaching on the Gaviota Coast.  Both Lisa Heenan & Darren 
Doherty will be in attendance at the Santa Barbara film premiere. 

The event takes place on Monday, March 14, 7:30 - 9pm, at the Paseo Nuevo 
Theaters, in the Paseo Nuevo Shopping Mall, downtown Santa Barbara, 8 West De 
La Guerra St (off of State St), 93101. Pre-order tickets are available on 
Event Brite for $10, or $15 at the door.
