Joel Salatin Quote: “Every day when I wake up and head out for chores, I’m struck by the beauty we enjoy on our farm. Based on visitors’ comments, that’s a shared awareness.

Joel Salatin Quote: “A farm regulated to production of raw commodities is not a farm at all. It is a temporary blip until the land is used up, the water polluted, the neighbors nauseated, and the air unbreathable.

Joel Salatin Quote: “I see it routinely when I get asked to speak at conferences. I’m supposed to come cheap because, after all, I’m just a farmer. If you’re smart and capable, you become a doctor, engineer, lawyer, computer technician – anything white collar. For goodness’ sake, don’t wear a blue collar. That makes your mother and me a failure and our friends will wonder about our family.”

Joel Salatin Quote: “How many of us lobby for green energy or protected lands, but don’t engage with the local bounty to lay by for tomorrow’s unseasonal reality?

Joel Salatin Quote: “A Virginia subdivision now has restricted deed covenants against ‘farming and other nuisances’. Can you imagine? In our culture, we are actually labeling farming as a nuisance.

Joel Salatin Quote: “Despite all the hype about local or green food, the single biggest impediment to wider adoption is not research, programs, organizations, or networking. It is the demonizing and criminalizing of virtually all indigenous and heritage-based food practices.”

Joel Salatin Quote: “This abnormal cheap energy petroleum age may appear to be a bonanza, but in the long run it has shredded boundaries and proximities that defined economic and social normalcy for centuries. In the continuum of human history, this petroleum age is a mere blip. Cheap energy, on a timeline, is scarcely a speck on the chart. Yet we have the audacity, the irrationality, to plunge forward with building designs, suburban designs, transportation designs as if this cheap.”

Joel Salatin Quote: “Today’s orthodoxy thrives on someone else doing the cooking.
