If it were up to the American government, Polyface Farm would not exist.

Joel Salitan is known as the lunatic farmer because he believes in a righteous food system and standing up to big government

bureaucrats who want to control our food. He's endured harassment, summonses,

confiscations, surprise visits, and criminal charges since opening Polyface in 1961, America's

premiere non-industrial food production oasis located in Virginia's Shenandoah

Valley. Many small farmers have tried to fight but lost the battle.

It's too expensive and the legalese is difficult to circumvent.

This interview is about a farmer's lifetime dealing with these issues and why you should feel empowered to grow your own food or at least

support the local organic regenerative farmer in your area. Joel is using food as a ministry. I highly recommend watching this

interview on the real Alex Clark YouTube channel. Joel is very animated as you know I am

too and it's just really fun to watch for the whole family. After you listen, look for my 20 minute farm mini documentary

and tour of Poly Face on YouTube.
