Thanks for your comment, Kristin. I hope you’ll get to hear Joel speak sometime–he has a great sense of humor and his rapid-fire delivery is a lot of fun. I wish more farmers would follow his lead.

I’d love to hear Joel Salatin speak! I’ve been in awe of him ever since I read Omnivore’s Dilemma. He really is a hero.

Nice to hear from you, Matt–and thanks for the comment. You’re so right that we need to take better care of our soils. In addition to “eat locally,” good advice is to stop using synthetic chemicals in the landscape and work to build healthy soil with organic methods.

Excellent post. Quote, we treat the soil like dirt, really holds true. It is amazing that the farm will feed 1500 people plus businesses. Eat locally. Matti
