About the Author
Polyface Farm says, "
Joel Salatin, 61, calls himself a Christian libertarian environmentalist capitalist lunatic farmer. Others who like him call him the most famous farmer in the world, the high priest of the pasture, and the most eclectic thinker from Virginia since Thomas Jefferson. Those who don’t like him call him a bio-terrorist, Typhoid Mary, charlatan, and starvation advocate.
With a room full of debate trophies from high school and college days, 12 published
books, and a thriving multi-generational family farm, he draws on a lifetime of food, farming and fantasy to entertain and inspire audiences around the world. He’s as comfortable moving cows in a pasture as addressing CEOs in a Wall Street business conference."

Salatin - Why Pastured Bacon is $9/lb
From the video description:
"If we could just cure that [bacon] here on the farm... we could
sell bacon for essentially the same price as Gwaltney and it would be ten times better and have no diesel fuel on it. What I want -- I want them to just leave me alone and if they just leave me alone, so, that our production didn't have to go through a non-scalable food police screen hurdle, we'd blow their socks off.
Those so those kind of things, that's what we're about here today. Those are the impediments. It's not that there aren't farmers like me that want to do this. It's not that there's not that there aren't eaters who want to eat it. It's not that the economies aren't there. It's not that we don't know how to do this, It's not that we need more infrastructure development to figure out how to do this. It's that these very arbitrary and capricious regulations that were designed to keep industrial short cutters and opaque food systems in check, that don't then scale down and apply in a local, transparent neighborhood friendly kind of operation."
Joel Salatin - There's a Different Way to Farm
From the video description:
"We shot with Joel Salatin for the Food Lies film and he showed us that everything most people have heard about farming is wrong. It is GOOD for the animals, it IMPROVES the soil, it's BETTER for the environment, and it provide HEALTHY food for humans. Don't believe the vegan lies and propaganda. "
