Low Intensity, Sustainable Farming Expert Comes to Ontario

Joel Salatin, a 3rd generation low intensity farmer from Virginia USA is coming to Guelph ON on Saturday Oct. 4, 2014 to share his low intensity, integrated farming experiences for the benefit of farmers, consumer, and academics.

Joel and Polyface Farm has developed sustainable farming systems for beef, pork, chickens, and eggs.  I highly recommend taking advantage of this opportunity for Ontario to listen and learn from Joel's hands-on sustainable farming experiences and ideas for the future.

Both my wife and I have registered for this exciting day-long event at $65 per person.  I have admired what Joel has been doing in pastured poultry, and his alternative open air abattoir that performs 10 times better than the high speed, mechanized abattoir systems typically used by the #ChickenMafia.

Joel was one of the featured examples of excellent farming techniques presented in the documentary film Food Inc.

My thanks and congratulations to Practical Farmers of Ontario for bringing Joel to Ontario.

Spots are filling quickly, so I suggest you hurry to get a seat.  Here are the details to register:
