Joel Salatin is no ordinary farmer—he’s a revolutionary force in agriculture, food freedom, and sustainability. A self-proclaimed “Christian libertarian environmentalist capitalist lunatic farmer,” he has been both celebrated and vilified for his bold stance against industrial farming. At Polyface Farm, nestled in the rolling hills of Virginia, Joel has spent decades proving that regenerative, nature-based farming isn’t just possible—it’s the key to restoring our land, nourishing communities, and reclaiming our food systems from government overreach and corporate control.
Salatin doesn’t just talk about farming—he challenges everything we’ve been told about it. His work is a direct rebuttal to industrial agriculture, demonstrating how working with nature, rather than against it, can create healthier food, more resilient ecosystems, and thriving local economies. When regulators try to shut him down for rejecting factory-farming models, he fights back with unflinching resolve, armed with facts, faith, and an unshakable belief in the right of individuals to grow and eat real food.
A best-selling author and sought-after speaker, Salatin has inspired countless farmers, entrepreneurs, and freedom lovers with his no-nonsense approach to food sovereignty and self-reliance. Whether he’s taking on the bureaucrats, educating the next generation of food producers, or challenging consumers to rethink their relationship with what’s on their plate, he does it all with wit, wisdom, and an unwavering passion for faith, family, and freedom.
