      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.

    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.

    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!

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

    • @TolaMady
      @TolaMady 9 лет назад +2

      +Th3uNn3rV3d considering the cows get slaughtered even grass fed beef is not cruelty free.

    • @th3unn3rv3d3
      @th3unn3rv3d3 9 лет назад +3

      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.

    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.

    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.

  • @RightOnQ62
    @RightOnQ62 14 лет назад

    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!

  • @rainicornsRlove
    @rainicornsRlove 14 лет назад

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

  • @peteheatb3
    @peteheatb3 9 лет назад +7

    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.

    • @Smallpotato1965
      @Smallpotato1965 8 лет назад +5

      +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'.

    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.
