Joel Salatin of PolyFace Farms is a world-leading example of how a small family farm can become an extremely diverse and profitable Local Food producer, and how the benefits of Local Food Systems can create resilience, stability and abundance for both local farmers and the wider community. Joel brings a lifetime of natural and profitable farming experience to this, his first Australian lecture series.

Featured in Michael Pollan’s book, The Omnivore’s Dilemma, and in the films FRESH and FOOD, Inc., Joel and his family at Polyface Farms exemplify successful small-scale farming and the growing relocalization movement. An electrifying speaker, Joel is also the author of six books including “Salad Bar Beef”, “Everything I Want To Do is Illegal – war stories from the local food front” and his latest “The sheer ecstasy of being a Lunatic Farmer”. He is a fulltime farmer of the highly successful Polyface Farms, and recipient of the Heinz International Award for Environmental Leadership.

His Sydney talk on Nov 23 is long booked out. Other talks are Canberra Nov 24 • Bendigo, Vic Nov 28; Brisbane Dec 4; Cairns Dec 5; Mudgee Dec 9.
