We only want autonomous collaborators that are incentivized to make or break their own income.

Gluten intolerance and celiac disease are direct results of American agriculture policy and, specifically, the government's wading into the food arena.

I'm incredibly optimistic about what individuals can do. We have technology that our grandparents would have given their eye teeth for.

'Organic' doesn't mean what people think it means.

Throughout high school, I peddled my eggs, had a vendor stand at the local curb market - precursor to today's farmers' markets - and competed in 4-H contests and interscholastic debate.

I am libertarian, and Americans generally are, more than, say, Canadians and Australians.

Our biggest fear is that 'Food, Inc.' will move heavy-handed food-safety regulations forward.
Joel Salatin -
I see myself today as Sitting Bull trying to bring a voice of Easternism, holism, community-based thinking to a very Western culture.
Joel Salatin -
Our main deal is pastured livestock. So we have beef cattle, pigs, turkeys, laying chickens, meat chickens, rabbit, lamb and ducks - egg-layer ducks.
