Illegal Food is Better for You
I had the opportunity to see Joel Salatin speak about sustainable farming. Mr. Salatin is the owner of Polyface Farms, “a family owned, multi-generational, pasture-based, beyond organic, local-market farm.” If you saw the film Food, Inc, you would also remember Joel as the fast-talking farmer with suspenders and straw hat. This post is a recap of his talk, which provided examples of how our country's food regulations systems are ruining our food.

Returning to Simpler Times in Farming
I share my weekly CSA share with recipes and ideas for the produce. I also discuss the importance of supporting local farms and making food choices that make sense on a local scale. We cannot allow big government to make food policies that are contradictory to what is actually healthy for us. I link to the blog article "Illegal Food is Better for You" to illustrate my point.

Joel Salatin from Polyface Farms is a game changer in the world of real food. His farm has shown that it is possible to produce real food in a sustainable way that is in harmony with nature, without the use of chemicals. In addition to his farm, Joel has written 6 books about real food and farming, and continues to promote this topic. He and his family also offer apprenticeships to people who would like to learn about sustainable farming.
