Polyface Farm

Joel Salatin of Polyface Farm in the US is a wonderful example of a biological farmer who has written a few books outlining his approach, both from an on farm practical guide and a powerful marketing perspective. I strongly recommend his books : You Can Farm , Salad Bar Beef and Pasture Poultry Profits for both small and large scale growers (his personal list of recommended reading is also worth looking at!). There are some very thought provoking fundamental ideas scattered throughout. His enthusiasm for farming and its future is very invigorating and has been known to have changed the perspective of many farmers, both here and overseas - ever heard of the chicken tractor?

One of his latest articles published in Acres USA - entitled Forgiveness Farming - is well worth reading. Download here:  Forgiveness Farming 22/11/2006,11:58 235.91 Kb
