I have been called a lot of things in my life but the Lunatic Farmer is one I agree with.

🐖“Honor the PIGNESS OF THE PIG” The wisdom of Joel Salatin: 50 hogs, fresh pasture every few days, no smell, no machines or fuel to turn soil—just pigs being pigs. Rooting. Healing soil. Awakening life in the land. It’s not just farming. It’s respect. For the pig. For the earth. For us. “A culture that never asks how to make a happy pig, or how to respect and honor the pigness of the pig, will soon come to where it doesn't ask, how do we make happy people?" This is the essence of freedom and liberty. Quiet wisdom from a man who’s changing the world, one pasture at a time. Watch & feel the difference 🐖
Here’s a short snippet from my conversation with @joerogan a few years ago. I would love to talk again soon, Joe.

.@JoelSalatin, welcome back to X. And WELCOME to The @EpochTimes! We're thrilled to have your inaugural column as The Contrary Caretaker, "Participatory Environmentalism," in this week's US national print edition! Be sure to read all about Joel's vision of proper stewardship of nature. Excerpt that jumped out at me: "But to be a conservative and spout environmentalist thinking irritated our church friends. Our farming friends were a motley group of dope-smoking hippies. The beaded, bearded, bra-less fraternity opposed the Vietnam War, ex- pressed promiscuity at Woodstock, and embraced earthworms. Oh no. I grew up in this strange philosophically oppositional conundrum."

The first supermarket supposedly appeared on the American landscape in 1946. That is not very long ago. Until then, where was all the food?
This magical, marvelous food on our plate, this sustenance we absorb, has a story to tell. It has a journey. It leaves a footprint.
Don't you find it odd that people put more work into choosing a mechanic or contractor than into choosing the person who grows their food?
The world still stands up & salutes when someone with fire in the belly, who refuses to be a victim, begins doing something. Anything.
If we devote ourselves to sacredness in our vocations, the world will rise to meet us.
You, as a food buyer, have the distinct privilege of proactively participating in shaping the world your children will inherit.
We're all familiar with 'cardboard' tomatoes.The industrial system doesn't care about nutrition. The goals are volume & handling.

We disrespect the 3 trillion critters in our digestive tract that cry out for quality of life while we cram quantities of junk.

A community that can feed itself is free. A community that cannot feed itself is not. It's that simple.
