14 years later and this type of farming is becoming mainstream. Love it

13 years and counting! The movement grows strong!

This guy is spot on with everything he says and I hope he continues to spread his message around the place. Good on him

He does- he's world-reknown and lectures all over as well as keeps up his farm as an example to homesteaders and big farmers.

Polyface farm is a fantastic example of innovation and understanding. Keep up the great work Salatins!

I love this (1:57) he is not "driving" those cows, instead they are following him! True shepherding at it's finest!

This is the farming we need to return to.

Your awesome Mr. Salatin. I live in the central valley of California and the ol' farms like yours is nearly a thing of the past. I long for simpler times when local grown food went right to the local markets or you shopped at the farms themselves. Everything now is so Agri-Industrialized. Keep up the great work; you have a following.

God, how I love this man. Thank goodness for what he is achieving and has achieved. He's a revolutionary.

This is the New Green Deal I am interested in!

I love his system. He is improving the land he lives on.

I could watch Joel Salatin talk for hours and always be intrigued

The black and white chickens are barred rocks. Dominiques have rose combs; barred rocks have single combs. We're doing the same thing as the Salatins on a much smaller scale in Illinois. It's great to see this in mainstream media!

I love Joel. He's terrific.

Ill be setting up my farm to be a symphony of loving happy animals and microsystems as joel has done. thankyou joel for your wisdom

Thank you Joel and Daniel. You two give me hope for our world. Beautiful.

I seriously want to see this happen on a larger scale. I need to visit this farm...

Grassfed beef is cruelty free. Grain fed beef is hard on cows stomachs, giving them ulcers. These guys are awesome.

TolaMady There is nothing cruel about a quick death. Their lives up to that point were also cruel-less. I'd say it's damn sight better than the industry standard.

I like this gut Joel Salatin, I think he is an ambassador to farming!

Although I'm a vegetarian, I'm so impressed with the farming practices at Polyface Farm. I learned about this through reading Michael Polin's book The Omnivore's Dilemma. Farming as it should be!

I love this clip and I really admire this kind of farming. Keep up the great work.

It actually balances itself out economically. What they spend in man power now, they save in cleaning up after a chemical shit-show that would result from Bayer/Monsanto type farming.

Well now ...that brought a big smile into my heart !!!! That is something to hear some inteligent people talking for a change !!! Absolutely great ! John Seymour has written some very interesting stuff about this about 70 years ago. Carry on with the brilliant job guys !!!

Love this man!! Ingenious, smart and brave. Everyone needs to see and learn from him.

I can just watch this over and over again! I LOVE IT.

Wow. I love this whole concept and idea. He is such an amazing thinker and the concept is just outstanding.

This is gold. Thank you

Very well said! This is how all farms should be! This is the kind of farm I hope to have and my daughter hopes to have!

You and your family are a inspiration to us all, I am a big fan of your methods and look forward to implementing this natural sytem into our small farm God bless you and keep up the great work

Rock on, Joel. We love you and what you're doing!

I have been quoting him for year. Been learning a lot from this man!

This is FANTASTIC! I love it, this guy is doing what many others should do. Wish he was in Ontario!

Joel is the king when it comes to the new revolution in sustainable farming. We have read most of his books and implemented many of his practices in one form or another

This way of a life style surely keeps me being an possiabilitarian and think this is the way to farm. As a farmer myself I say, keep up the good fight.

Wow felicidades a Joel Salatin. Saludos de Saltillo México

That guy with that hat looks and sounds like champ. WHAMMY

Love it. It's taken us many years to finally find our way of sustainable farming here in the Kentucky Bluegrass. Trial and error and perseverance has been our motto 😉✌🏼New way of farming lifestyle? Yes please! #newgenerationoffarmers

Love your farm and the work you did,saludos from Anaheim CA, rosy

Bless you, Mr. Salatin.

Inspiring! and yes we can be counted as one of the few that are proud to say - we are on a path to becoming small acreage farmers ourselves and our kid is doing it with us. Thanks for ther story ...

AWESOME!!!!!! Very inspiring and probably a true hope for the future. Bravo!!

I love this guy!!

Fabulous and simply obvious. Back to nature. Wonderful.

I am in Arizona and would love to know of any farms that are like your here. I love your ethos. Thank you for what you do.

Joel Salatin is my hero. I wish I lived close to his farm so I could buy everything from him.

Love the way you farm

Kudos to Polyface!!! Keep up your brilliant methods!!! This is SUSTAINABILITY

wow i love your concept ,, thanks soo much for being an leader.. we can only wish other farm and learn from you ..

What an inspiring project

I really wished we lived in a world/country where there were local farmers like Salatin available everywhere. This guy is awesome. This type of farming would solve many of the country's ills (pollution, global warming, food-borne illnesses, etc.)

holy crap, this farm looks so beautiful and clean and natural!

This man is brilliant! Super intelligent!

Joel is AMAZING!

I think this is great. I literally grew up as a farmer/rancher's daughter. I never knew that I wasn't suppose to be proud that we were farmers. The only thing that scares me today is that if we don't get a hold on what the government is doing and a hold on our population growth then we will be unable to find the land to farm like this man. And it is critical that we stop both! Especially Mansato!

Beautiful!

I love the way this guy runs his farm! He is so in tune with his animals and with nature. I believe (I hope) that these methods will be the wave of the future. We've had enough of the huge industrial farms, polluting the earth and making us all sick and obese. Our food should be grown locally. We need to reclaim our food supply and do it soon. Farming really shouldn't be an industry but a culture.

I read the book...I will no longer shop at Safeway or any major chain..I shop locally at PCC here in Seattle...and grow my own food

"...my son or daughter is going to be a FARMER!"

He is great guy I went to his farm last Saturday

A great system, seems like it works well. Just have to accept the fact that if all our meat was grown this way, its going to be very expensive.

+peteheatb3 No, it wouldn't, because one of the reasons Salatin is such a thorn in the butt of Big Industry is that he sells directly to customer, and he asks (accoding to his website), $7/lb for beef brisket, $3.25/lb for a whole broiler chicken, $5.50/lb for Boston Butt, $9/lb for sliced bacon, $2.50/dozen medium eggs. Now, if you’re an American used to shopping at Safeway/Giant and especially Sam’s Club/Costco, those prices are shocking, but if you're an European like me, those are GOOD prices, only slightly above supermarket prices. I would GLADLY pay that for pasture raised! Here in the Netherlands you pay 20 euro for a 'free-range-ish' (they get more space and get to go outside for a few hours a day) 3 pound broiler chicken! Now THAT is ridiculous, imo, but probably because it is a very small market and one producer pretty much has the monopoly. As devildog3781 says, if most farms were doing it the Salatin way, prices would go down faster than you could say 'Chicken Little'.

Love this guy!!

I like to think of a farm as a larger solar collector. In order to maximize it's sustainability you have to close as many loops as possible and stop all leaks. A leak is like when you waste urine or feces, if you let it go to waste you'll have to replace it from the outside. A leak could be produce sold off the farm and that too has to be replaced.

....may God as you may or may not understand him or her CONTINUE to richly bless the farmer!!!! That great big light bulb up there in the sky is the most neglected resource we have here on planet earth........wish I knew why! Wish I had me a plate a that free range chicken (or rabbit) for dinner tonight.........Thank you Salatin family!!!

Hope to visit them someday

love it!!

I LOVE HIM HE IS SO WONDERFUL AND SMART!

Genius is a loosely used word, but truthfully i feel this man is a genius, He ideas and plans are a key to the proper way to raise meat. Great man who i envy and would love to meet. Truely my Hero

This is awesome!

this guy is frigging awesome! he must be good at playing farmville

I love that Joel calls his chickens "ladies". I wish this is how all farms worked. This is a paradise, the animals are so happy, and there's actually grass. The Omnivore's Dilemma is an amazing book. I'm much more conscientious about the food I buy now after reading it. I wish there were multiple Polyface farms all over the US, I'd buy my food there and nowhere else.

Love those bar-rocks

If you do a little research on Joel and his farm, you'll find that it was land formerly dismissed as depleted and unusable. His method of farming restores nutrient-rich topsoil, making land that's able to produce more grass, and more food. I think his method is truly sustainable. Although I agree with you, that for it to be sustainable on a large scale, people need to break their addiction to animal protein and stop the Meat Binge known as the first-world diet. Moderation!!!

I am proud that my daughter hatched chicken eggs in our apartment, using a toy incubator. I am a daughter of a Math Professor, I am a registered nurse, but my dream is to be an organic farmer, help feed people clean food, that will make them be healthier, just like Joel. I never thought farming as being for low people, au contraire. G-d bless Joel Salatin and all people like him, that want to make this planet a better place.

I think farmers are the salt of the earth and ones like this garner a huge amount of respect and admiration in my book. As much as I think this type of farming is great in moving the animals around the cycling them through, there really isn't any reason that 95% of what they are doing couldn't be automated too.

Great guy!

I love this guy

Read about him and his farm in The Omnivore's Dilemma. Now I know what the Eggmobile really looks like.

Absolute genius.

I wish more people would research this.

If anyone is interested, there is a cool book called the Omnivores Dilemma, by Michael Pollan. It's about the author and how he follows the path of food from when it's made to when it gets to your plate.

Is there a practical way to implement these methods in the high valleys of AZ

he just WENT after hillbillies I'm SCREAMING

This video changes everything. These methods can reverse the greenhouse effect

man! that's some beautiful grass.

This makes me happy 😁

I like this farmer i to hope this will be the way of the future

This guy is my farmer hero.

This is great!!!!! What state is this in?

Hi Joel. Used to have almost all your books till went abroad and lost them. Appreciate these videos, I miss the books. Say would you be able to talk about your dad and losing the farm to the communists in the 50's Venezuela? I think it would be really interesting even though I know you were a child. Still its very relevant to today. Thanks again for your videos.

I want to have my own farm like this!

I like this guy, he is sharp!

eastern european countries used/uses this system for ages, around 1995 as a child i played with electric fence and even then it was ages old.. lol discovering america again?

this is awesome

I love it....I wish I could be a farmer!!!

It's the farmer from Food Inc, Great movie, everyone should watch it!!

Were Joel Salatin and his farm also featured in Food Inc? I liked that movie.

Well done

What about in the winter. Do you guys cut alfalfa? Also do you guys plant crops as well as raising animals?

Damn we need more farmers like him.

You are inspirational to me

amazing free range farming

@ellenranit The man is passionate in that which he believes. I admire that. We need to get excited about our life's work.
