“A world thus renewed and re-localized is the vision,
and self-described “ministry,” Joel Salatin has developed over a
lifetime. During these two days he is sharing and communicating that vision to
those assembled here, at Orella
Ranch (where this event is batting ‘clean-up’ as the final
module of the leading-edge Carbon Economy Course series). A packed house of fifty
participants (including local and international farmers, eco-preneurs,
Permaculturalists, local-foodies, ranchers, and assorted eco-adventurers) are
definitely here to listen, question, learn, and to be inspired. A highly
expressive and engaging speaker, Mr. Salatin elucidates his life’s work
with all the fiery passion of a down-home religious revival. Call it
“LUNATIC FARMING 101” and you would not be far from the mark (Mr.
Salatin in fact relates that his next book will be titled The Sheer Ecstasy of
Being a Lunatic Farmer). With “Lunatic Farming” and a comprehensive
strategy for re-localizing the world there is no shortage of indispensable
advice, along with plenty of good humor, being absorbed and shared here.”
