Summary

In this lively and thought-provoking episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Joel Salatin returns for his fourth appearance to dive deep into topics that challenge the status quo of modern agriculture and life. Joel and Ginny discuss the powerful concepts of terrain theory versus germ theory, and how embracing the "lunacy" of traditional, regenerative farming can create healthier ecosystems, families, and communities. They explore the resilience that comes from living simply, moving away from consumerism, and how parents and children alike can thrive by reconnecting with the natural world. This conversation will make you question the accepted norms of food production, parenting, and what it truly means to live a rich, fulfilling life. ** Learn more about Joel here Learn more about Polyface Farm here Learn more about the Rogue Food Conference here Get your copy of The Sheer Ecstacy of Being a Lunatic Farmer here ** Download your free 1000 Hours Outside tracker here >> https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/trackers Find everything you need to kick off your 1000 Hours Outside Journey here >> https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/blog/allthethings Order of copy of Ginny's newest book, Until the Streetlights Come On here >> https://amzn.to/3RXjBlN Learn more about your ad choices.
