Podcast appearances and mentions of Joel Salatin

Today, we discuss how to navigate all the options out there as you seek your ideal homestead property. We also cover our usual Monday segments. Featured Event August 9: Foraging on the Farm at Strong Roots Resources Strongrootsresources.com Sponsor 1 DiscountMylarBags.com Long-term food storage supplies that won't break the bank. Sponsor 2 AgoristTaxAdvice.com/LFTN Helping entrepreneurs, homesteaders, and freedom-minded folks handle taxes the smart way. Surprise Guest JOHN WILLIS - Buy his cool tactical gear here. Tales from the Prepper Pantry We topped off green bean canning for the year — another seasonal task checked off the list. We're also setting up long-term canned goods storage at Basecamp so it's easier to rotate and access what we've put up. While I was away, Tactical survived thanks to the stash of homemade convenience meals we'd prepped in advance. Proof that a little forethought goes a long way. And this week, we're finally getting seedlings started for the fall garden — about a week later than planned, but they're going in. Frugality Tip If you've got a spare room sitting empty, it might be time to put it to work. We brought in $150 this week just by renting out a bedroom on Airbnb —  just a clean space, a good description, and letting the system do its thing. Sometimes the easiest money is already inside your house. Operation Independence We're gearing up for a trip to Polyface Farm to see Joel Salatin's systems in action. The goal? Learn what we can, adapt what fits, and scale up operations here at the Holler. Always learning, always building. Main Topic of the Day: Finding the Ideal Homestead Everybody wants the perfect homestead. Creek in the back, rich soil, gentle slopes, friendly neighbors, no codes, low taxes, a vast homeschooling network, hospital that is close but not TOO close…Oh — and under $200,000, please. Today, we're digging into how to actually find the IDEAL land for your homestead — starting with the real questions, not the fantasy map. Where to go in the state How to choose land Where the best community is Regulatory environment To rent or to own? What does ideal mean? WHY ARE YOUR DOING THIS? What does your ideal day on your land actually look like? Is this about freedom? Fear? Feeding your family? Are you chasing a dream… or running from a disaster? Zac Bauer of  An American Homestead's thoughts on water List what is important to you: Family Hospitals? Entertainment Supplies Church Crime/Safety Kid stuff Tax regulations Cultural mix   HERE IS THE TRUTH THOUGH : the ideal property? It's either taken or priced much higher than you will expect  - and those super nice properties also have hidden problems. That's the problem we're really solving today — what do you do when your dream and your budget don't match? That is when you have to prioritize = prioritize what you truly need in a piece of land as Zac pointed out.  In Fact the best homesteaders I know didn't start with perfect property. They started with a good enough place and made it work. EXAMPLES John Willis, Rock Quarry The Eversoles (bare land) Kerry Brown (off grid) Ryan & Steve (local partners) Shawn Mills (off grid) They didn't find a unicorn property — they built a life anyway. Don't forget — Self-Reliance Festival tickets are still available, but the price goes up soon. If you've been thinking about joining us in Camden this October, now's the time to grab your pass and make a plan. Details are at SelfRelianceFestival.com. Make it a great week. GUYS!

In this episode of Vitality Made Simple, Joel Salatin, known as the ‘Lunatic Farmer,' explores what he calls our modern ‘guinea pig culture,' where children lack chores, families depend on processed convenience foods, and communities have forgotten how to be stewards of the land. He explains how this disconnect contributes to widespread mental health challenges, from poor self-worth to the loneliness epidemic, and how purpose-driven work and local food systems can help reverse this trend.Joel also dives into the importance of the microbiome, emphasizing that diversity—both in our gut and on our farms—is the key to resilience. He shares fascinating stories of regenerative farming, the powerful effects of rotational grazing, and why even worms can teach us what real food looks like. Throughout the episode, he ties his practical farming wisdom to his faith, reminding us that flourishing comes when we live in harmony with creation and design.Visit my website DrDebbieOzment.com for valuable free downloads.

In this urgent and eye-opening episode, world-renowned farmer Joel Salatin sounds the alarm on the collapse of local food freedom and the dangerous centralization of our food system. With over 40% of farmers nearing retirement and fewer than 1.5% of Americans still farming, the future of your food security is at risk. Joel exposes the corrupt ties between regulators, Big Ag, and Big Pharma, and explains how we've lost the ability to recognize real food, while also offering empowering solutions to reclaim food sovereignty, protect your health, and secure your family's future.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: How government bureaucracy is pushing out small farmers out of business How our food supply is at an extreme risk in the next 10 years How mega corporations and foreign interests are buying farmland to control the food supply How government overreach on your health and food is a leading cause of illness How our nation's food IQ is so low, most people don't recognize actual food when they see it The corruption of the recirculating "CEO" system within Big Ag, Big Pharma, and government agencies What you can do (as just one person) to save your food and your country   More from Joel Salatin: Instagram: @joel_salatin and @polyfacefarm Website: polyfacefarms.com     Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

Jeff shares his journey from raising 25 chickens for personal use to building a thriving regenerative poultry business focused on pasture-raised ducks and turkeys.

Joel Salatin — the self-described "Christian libertarian environmentalist capitalist lunatic farmer" — joins James Poulos on "Zero Hour" to expose how America's farming system went off the rails. Salatin shares the story of revitalizing his Virginia farm by embracing natural systems, local markets, and regenerative agriculture, instead of government subsidies and chemical dependence. They discuss the roots of America's health crisis, why our food supply chains are dangerously fragile, and why restoring food freedom through neighbor-to-neighbor transactions could save our nation. Salatin lays out his "Food Emancipation Proclamation," warns against top-down government fixes, and explains why the future of America depends on rebuilding local, decentralized food economies. From RFK Jr.'s "Make America Healthy Again" movement to Trump's potential role in freeing the food system, this is a powerful conversation about food, freedom, faith, and America's future.

Joel Salatin is a farmer, author, and outspoken advocate for regenerative agriculture. His first exposure to farming came on his father's 1,000-acre chicken and dairy farm in Venezuela. In 1959, following the election of President Rómulo Betancourt—who implemented a land redistribution program—the Salatin family relocated to Virginia. There, they purchased Polyface Farm in Swoope, nestled in the Shenandoah Valley. Today, Salatin owns and operates the farm, which has become a national model for sustainable and ethical agricultural practices. Salatin is widely recognized for his pioneering work in rotational grazing, soil health, and decentralized food systems. Through his books, public speaking, and media appearances, he challenges the industrial agriculture model and promotes local food networks, transparency, and self-reliance. His work has been featured in documentaries such as Food, Inc. and Fresh, and he is the author of several books, including You Can Farm, Folks, This Ain't Normal, and The Marvelous Pigness of Pigs, in which he critiques industrial farming and advocates for a return to localized food systems. In addition to his writing, Salatin serves as editor of the monthly magazine Stockman Grass Farmer, dedicated to pasture-based livestock production. He also teaches a two-day agribusiness course in conjunction with the magazine. As an educator and speaker, Salatin has addressed audiences at institutions such as the University of California, Berkeley, the Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture, and the 2020 Libertarian National Convention, where he spoke about limiting government regulation in farming. ----- With gratitude to our sponsors: RA Optics https://raoptics.com/bttp Use Code: Nicole ----- Backyard Butchers Go to https://www.backyardbutchers.com/pages/nicole and use code “Nicole” for 20% off your steaks and tallow direct from the Texas ranch. ----- Sky Horse Publishing https://www.skyhorsepublishing.com/ ----- Mama Suds https://mamasuds.com Use code 'NICOLE' ----- MASA Chips http://masachips.com/bttp Use code 'BTTP' ----- Sign Up https://shop.backtothepeople.net

Joel Salatin—farmer, author, and foreword writer for Ginny Yurich's new book—joins us for his fifth episode, and it's a powerhouse. This conversation is a front-row seat to what happens when you raise kids in real life instead of a classroom. Joel walks us through the radical decision he and his wife made in the 1980s to homeschool, back when it was still illegal in parts of the country and deeply misunderstood. With no research, no co-ops, and no roadmap, they said yes anyway—because they couldn't say yes to the public system, and they couldn't afford private school. The outcome? Two thriving, confident, competent adult children and a family legacy that changed generations. We talk about why the simple things—folding laundry, planting a garden, making muffins—build real competence and self-worth in a world that's often more virtual than visceral. Joel's stories are riveting: from a son who couldn't read at ten to one who now runs the family business with confidence and purpose. If you've ever questioned your decision to homeschool (or are considering it), this conversation will remind you: you don't need to know how it all turns out to know that you're doing something that matters. ** Get your copy of Homeschooling, You're Doing it Right Just by Doing it here Learn more about Joel and all he has to offer here Learn more about your ad choices.

Regenerative farming pioneer Joel Salatin joins Dr. Jordan B. Peterson to challenge the myth that cows are bad for the planet. They explore how pasture-based farming restores ecosystems, the dangers of industrial agriculture, and why storytelling matters in the fight for the future of food. Joel Salatin, dubbed the "Lunatic Farmer," is a Christian libertarian environmentalist and one of the most outspoken voices in regenerative agriculture. Co-owner of Polyface Farm in Virginia, he supplies thousands with pasture-raised meats and teaches sustainable farming worldwide. With 16 books, such as “The Omnivore's Dilemma," countless columns, and a wildly engaging speaking style, Salatin blends mischief, grit, and deep cultural insight to challenge how we think about food, freedom, and stewardship of the land. This episode was filmed on March, 10th, 2025.  | Links | For Joel Salatin: On X https://x.com/joelsalatin?lang=en Polyface Farms website https://polyfacefarms.com/ Read “Homestead Tsunami: Good for Country, Critters, and Kids” https://a.co/d/5gg3vAV Read “You Can Farm: The Entrepreneur's Guide to Start & Succeed in a Farming Enterprise” https://a.co/d/fX8wSWF
