Have you seen Joel's latest podcast appearance?

In this interview with Jordan Peterson on the Jordan B. Peterson Podcast, Joel begins with a history of Polyface and the Salatin family. (If you've never heard Joel himself TELL this story, just that is worth the listen.)

Next, they discuss the Polyface methods - farm size, modular animal shelters, and controlled grazing. These are the foundational building blocks of Polyface, and have been implemented since the beginning.

After that, Joel and Jordan get into the big question: Are cows contributing to climate change?

Listen in and find what some may say is the "best argument against veganism".

Watch now to follow along on this wondrous journey and a treasure trove of inspiring tales and captivating insights.

VIRTUAL TOUR: Egg-laying Chickens

I absolutely love walking the fields at Polyface and seeing the animals living out their natural uniqueness. For over a decade now, one of my favorite yearly rituals has been taking spring walks there—pausing just to listen to the quiet, steady sound of cows grazing. There’s something incredibly grounding about it. I also get a kick out of watching the chickens dart and weave, especially when one finds an earthworm and suddenly turns into a tiny, determined guardian of her prize. And the pigs! ...They’re endlessly entertaining. I could stand there forever just breathing it all in and laughing at how curious and playful they are as they explore their space. I really think everyone should visit Polyface at least once. Seeing it in person makes such a powerful impression. It’s completely different from what most people picture when they think of a typical American farm. That said, I know not everyone gets the chance to go. So I’m especially grateful for the folks who film and share these experiences, making it possible to get a glimpse of that beauty and peace from afar. Take a break and check out this virtual tour of their egg-laying chickens. Blessings, Hannah
