You’re absolutely right! Joel Salatin’s methods benefits all aspects of farming. Lots of modern day agriculture only benefits the animals for meat. Joel Salatin’s methods benefits the livestock, our health, our planets health, and the land the livestock graze on. It’s incredible! ✝️
You young people owe this man such a debt of gratitude. He is making the farming process doable. Lots of persistence and listening to nature and the world God gave us. He is making the most of and sharing the gifts he has been given. He connects all the dots to his creator. Thank you, Joel.
In the Bible, God doesn’t mandate for all of His followers to farm. We are happy God lead us away from the awful toxic and damaging practices of homesteading and farming and onto a better living environment. God bless!
I have watched Joel Salatin for at least 15 years. When he was younger he spread his way of farming all over the US. He is so intelligent about how he runs his farm! He works with nature not against her.
what Joel is doing on Polyface is great...and it aint exactly rocket science. As farmers we all must work along with nature...what Joel and his family have figured out is that it's much easier to work with nature than to fight nature! Very good point for sure! Many of the concepts that Joel uses are used on my farm
Love the channel. I have a suggestion for your next video. Ive seen several videos online from Joel and some of his inspired farmers. Its super encouraging but I'm always left with a few open questions. It would be great if you could do a video on these items! 1.How do the small scale farms navigate the USDA and similar state requirements for on site butchering and sale of the animals (regardless of animal type) 2. How do the farmers market in their local area to find buyers for their animals. Many say friends and family but would be so awesome to hear details of how they found buyers.
Joel Salitin changed my life. I've known I've wanted to homestead for years, but, as a college student, I didn't feel it was the "right time" just yet. However, after watching an interview Justin Rhodes did with him, I was so moved by his process that I decided there was no time like the present. Thanks to your channel, Justin Rhodes, and Sow the Land I had accrued enough knowledge to get me started. I only have a small flock of chickens but when I graduate and can afford some mountain land it won't be so daunting to really dive into animal husbandry. God bless.
taking action; excellent. Uh, being a selfish human ;) may i suggest you document your journey in video? you are going to make mistakes, I'm 54 and I STILL make mistakes, but you'll learn from them as Joel has I assure you and you would be doing a great service to the farming community.
This is so cool! I recently read Joel's book "Folks, This ain't normal" after watching your channel. Farming needs to come back so we can control what goes into our food, not the government.
It is so refreshing to see more videos that highlight how we can work organically together with the Earth; which provides Organic Food, Shelter & Water for all Creatures to live and thrive together. Our Native American People were the first Farmers, Ranchers and Stewards of Living off the Earth, and all that She Provides. We thank You and Appreciate You for the commitment, dedication and sacrificing your time in providing these videos. They add more and more value every time I watch them.
Joel Salatin is one of the finest examples of a human being out there. Have followed his work for many many years and put his methods to work on my own farm.
He is 100% wrong about coronavirus and part of the problem. Sorry, but the reason New Zealand has 0 cases and we're drowning in deaths and suffering and massive hospital costs are people like him.
This type of farming makes so much sense it ought to catch on like wild fire. Mr. Joel sure knows his stuff and it's great to hear how much knowledge he has and I can see how he loves life.
I love the brilliance of how Joel Salatin farms and manages the various animals. I only learned about him this year. Don't know why I had never heard of him before, but now I am devouring every video and book I can find! Thank you for this video/interview.
You kept Joe standing in one spot for over 5 minutes. That must be the most grass that ever grew under Joe's feet. Lol. Thank you for the great video. 👍
OMGosh Joel is just up the road from you? That's cool. He is so kind, so generous in sharing his knowledge, and he is always smiling, always happy. I guess I would be happy too if I were living on a farm.
Joel Salatin is one cool guy who knows of what he speaks. I could listen to him all day despite being mired here in suburbia. That was a truly great video.
Wow. What an interesting and informative tour of Joel's farm. He obviously knows the science behind what he is doing. Amazing video. Thanks for the tour.
Wow !!! I totally enjoyed watching this video. Joel is a walking encyclopedia regarding what is an amazing farming method. Thanks for bringing us along to visit his farm ... 👌☝️👍.
Joe is very informative and knowledgeable his explainations are laced together with lots of common sence and his braces are something else, the very best I've ever seen, thanks Joe I really got lots of satisfaction out of this video....
wow, what i admire about this is there is no dissenting of his 'competition' but simplistic honesty about the 'stewardness' of true farming or pharmacopoeia!! i first saw this guy in a documentary called 'Earthings" this is totally nostalgic as it brings back many childhood memories visiting my grandparents organic dairy farm!
That was very kind of Joel to give you a personal tour of his farm and share his decades of knowledge with us and even to "Whooo!" with you at the end.
Joel is a good fella...and we made a generous donation to Polyface farm for his time and attention....he's done so much good for the farming community..he's a wealth of knowledge!
I love your videos and love listening to you talk in them. Yet when in the presence of the legendary Joel Salatin you demonstrated great restraint and wisdom to let Joel do most of the talking in your video. You showed great respect for one of the greatest. Thank you.
The way family and life should be. It's hard work and at the end of the day you may be a bit sore but look forward to the next sunrise. Thanks, SRF for taking us along and sharing. 🚜-Woooooo!!!
i am not a farmer ,dont own land ,dont have animals except cats and at 67 i probably never will, however this video is among the MOST interesting/eyeopening videos i have ever seen .the knowledge , humility and love of the earth that this man exudes gives hope for human existence without destruction .great video mr stoney ridge farmer
Thank you for sharing this I am a huge fan of Joel and his way of farming! He has helped me learn how to raise diversified livestock in a natural and healthy way!
Josh, my wife and I visited Pollyface Farm on our honeymoon and plan to go back for our 1 year anniversary. While watching a video on this channel about a month ago we noticed you wearing a polyface shirt! I respect the pigness of the pigs. WOO!!
Hey Brother, It's been a dream of mine to live on a small farms since I was a kid. Having a farm someday is my dream. I think all I need is 5-10 acres and that should be plenty for the wife and I to manage. And, thank you for sharing your good and bad farm experiences, they are invaluable.
Man, Josh this is an excellent video. Joel has a wealth of great information to share with those who will listen. I think I'm going to look him up and try to go visit his place and maybe get in on some of that great education he has to offer.
I like the way you asked key questions that focused and clarified. You let Joel shine. So many people that do Poly face farms videos get in the way and in the process of making the video they blur the message. Yore Video is well shot and the images are well chosen. Thanks.
This has been a awesome tour I really have enjoyed . And this gentleman is very knowledgeable of how the whole farm and animals. Thank u for sharing this farm and his operation.
Thanks....yep...I'm not sure that anyone has done what we did today on Polyface...a true look at the systems in place there on the farm...not tackling just one subject..but most all subjects was my goal..getting a true picture of what's happening on this farm
Fascinating!! What an awesome video. Thank you for the tour and taking the time to pass on the extensive knowledge that this farmer has. He has really done his homework and a gift to the world.
Very good vid. Love the lesson on permaculture. I could never have anything this big but I am thinking of starting small for homesteading. Love the water system. Using nature. Thanks so much.
Great seeing and learning from both of you always from the part of the world where I am. @ Huge appreciation I always learn and get a ton of practical farming practices. @Joel that knowledge on keeping pigs like that is excellent....
I love how you're so willing to work with @JoelSalitan for the day on his farm while you're getting valuable knowledge and paying homage to those whose been doing this. #Keepupthegreatwork
Howdy from the Great Lake State , central Michigan ! 🤠 This episode was really cool 👌👍👏. Thanx so much . What a great way to encourage your audience . Keep on keep'n on ! Happy Homesteading 🌞
Have seen many Salatin videos, but non of them has been this informative. Very well explained and most importantly, filmed the way so everyone can see what is he talking about.
Thanks guys! We have a 10 hectare/25 acres farm in South Africa and we are going to start with livestock farming soon! I got a lot of good tips here and we going to incorporate it on our farm! Blessings!!!
That was a very good video and I really liked all the information on raising the pasture chickens and pigs. I like the way you built your movable chicken coops compared to his , your look easier to move. I think I may be building some coops like yours real soon . Thanks for the info
This is the first time I have heard Joel Salatin refer to building a pond and moving the silt up onto the land. starting @ about 3:30-3:50. I would love to hear more about this.
Great video. Lots of good tips and learning. Really shows how the smaller farmer uses what it given to them by nature compared to the mega farmers that use their Dollars to produce.
For some reason my favorite chuckle moment was at 12:42 when you had a 3 second showdown with the pig, lol. Also, kudos to that man. Genius and wealth of knowledge.
Wow, what a fantastic episode! First time watching, learned SO much (have many questions too) and hope to take advantage of Joel's offerings and to have a farm of my own eventually. Thank you again, Clayton (Austin, TX)
Hi SRF Family. Thanks Josh for the great interview with Mr. Salatin. He is definitely an inspiration to so many of us. I'd love to get into his two day seminar if we can ever fly out of South Korea again for vacation. Cheers and God Bless. ~Mike and Ester~
Excellent video! Opens my eyes to how a farm works and using our God’s creation to raise our food. God bless brother and keep the great videos coming
Well said!
Amen
Amen
He sounds like he reads the Bible and learn from the Bible

@@EmilyGloeggler7984God created us to farm the land and care for the animals. It right in the first chapter of Gen.

Looks like Joel likes to raise the Cornish Cross. Pigs look happy not like the factory raised pigs, its amazing to see pigs wagging their tails.

What a great video, learned a lot about farming and permaculture. Thank you both!
Thanks for the video. It's nice to see a video with a (kinda) different perspective and other parts of Joel's farm that we usually don't see 😊
Great video Josh. I’m a big fan of Joel and his farming practices.
I really enjoyed this whole video. Joel is incredibly knowledgeable, and it was a real treat to see how he does things. Thanks!

60 years of farming teaches ya something don't it!
Great video. Lots of good tips and learning. Really shows how the smaller farmer uses what it given to them by nature compared to the mega farmers that use their Dollars to produce.
I can’t get enough of his teaching he is awesome 👏
I could listen to this guy forever the knowledge you can get from this man
One of your best yet. Full of info and ideas. Well done.
This was a great interview with Joel
For some reason my favorite chuckle moment was at 12:42 when you had a 3 second showdown with the pig, lol.
Also, kudos to that man. Genius and wealth of knowledge.
Joel Salatin is the man! My plan is to farm like this.
super smart guy. great video. great insight! Thanks Josh
Wow Josh! This was a really educational experience👌 gives me a lot of new ideas on how to develop my own homestead👍🏻
That dude is a national treasure. What a awesome farm set up and wealth of knowledge.
Great job Bud! Love the video. I like the longer ones like this, they can be really informative.
Wow, what a fantastic episode! First time watching, learned SO much (have many questions too) and hope to take advantage of Joel's offerings and to have a farm of my own eventually. Thank you again, Clayton (Austin, TX)
Awesome, very experienced and practical farmer. Full of wisdom. God bless. 🙏
Wow, Just Wow! You got Salatin to say Whoooo!!!! 🤩
Exactly how my grandmother taught me to "farm" in the 70s. I've made hundreds of those exact same chicken tractors over the last 40-50 years
Hi SRF Family. Thanks Josh for the great interview with Mr. Salatin. He is definitely an inspiration to so many of us. I'd love to get into his two day seminar if we can ever fly out of South Korea again for vacation. Cheers and God Bless. ~Mike and Ester~
This is so cool to see! I love your channel and grew up in Staunton, VA. The Boy Scout camp I went to every summer is right next to this farm!
Farming in harmony with nature and Gods creation, the ultimate in stewardship. What a great video!
Thank you for sharing this. The moment he said his farm was made to scale up or down I almost started to cry. Thank you again.
Awesome information! Appreciate the recognition of the grand design, and how wonderful it is!
Wow Josh this is hands down your best video and man you've got a lot of interesting ones but this is OH Man!
It's the quality of the chickens grazing area that really makes the difference. It's brilliant!
This was very good brother. Putting some of your principles and ideas in place. Thanks
Did he mention how many eggs he get a year Month etc
it's so refreshing to her someone speak about the natural world and creation in a deep and profound way.
Look how thick and lush his grass is!
wow, what a great educational show, thank you so much.
Excellent interview with a agricultural genius.
Great Interview Josh!!! 2 of my favorite farmers together!!!
Me and my wife been there and loved it. We will be back
