26 - Eclectic Diversity | Joel Salatin - Polyface Farms

When the show was conceived he was one farmer that we knew we wanted to interview, maybe it would take months, or even years, but it was a goal we set.

He’s an author, farmer, speaker, and all around Intellectual Agrarian, you already know his name because you’ve read the title of the episode: Mr. Joel Salatin.

With Joel we’ll be talking about what got him into farming, how to integrate multiple generations into your businesses, why he isn’t Certified Organic, what it means be an Intellectual Agrarian, and so much more. This a great episode, it runs longer than most, but you don’t want to miss it!

Cheat Sheet:

• Polyface’s start in Sustainability started with his grandfather’s interest and commitment to “Organic” farming practices in his backyard garden.
• Keys to multigenerational businesses/farms: 1. Work can never be punishment. 2. Be quick on praise, slow on criticism. 3. Really create a climate where the children can have a entrepreneurial project of their own.
• Allowing your children to interact strategically with the adult world can give them a jump start toward a productive adulthood.
• The name Polyface was with the intention of appreciating the diversity of people, enterprises and critters that formed the farm.
