Joel Salatin is a full-time, third generation alternative farmer in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley. A wordsmith, he describes his occupation as “mob-stocking herbivorous solar conversion lignified carbon sequestration fertilization.” His humorous and conviction-based speeches are akin to theatrical performances, often receiving standing ovations. The family’s farm, Polyface Inc. (“The Farm of Many Faces”) has been featured in Smithsonian Magazine, National Geographic, Gourmet, and countless other radio, television and print media. He holds a B.A. degree in English and writes extensively in magazines such as Stockman Grass Farmer, Acres USA, and Foodshed, where he passionately defends small farms, local food systems, and the right to opt out of the conventional food paradigm. He has authored eight books, four of them how-to types, such as: You Can Farm: The Entrepreneur’s Guide to Start and Succeed in a Farming Enterprise and Family Friendly Farming: A Multi-Generational Home-Based Business Testament. Four generations of his family currently live and work on the farm.
