On the renowned POLYFACE farm in Virginia a different kind of farming 
is taking place
with Joel Salatin, a farmer who wants us to rekindle our relationship 
with food.

Please join Santa Barbara Permaculture Network on Monday, March 14, 
at the Paseo Nuevo Theater for the Santa Barbara premiere of 
POLYFACES, a documentary film about Joel Salatin and the renowned 
Polyface farm in Virginia that has been demonstrating some of the 
best regenerative & sustainable agriculture practices for over 40 years.

In 1961, William and Lucille Salatin moved their young family to 
Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, purchasing the most worn-out, eroded, 
abused farm in the area. Using nature as a pattern, they began the 
healing and innovation that now supports three generations.

Disregarding conventional wisdom, the Salatins planted trees, built 
huge compost piles, dug ponds, moved cows daily with portable 
electric fencing, and invented portable sheltering systems to produce 
all their animals on perennial prairie polycultures.

In time son Joel Salatin took the helm, teaching and authoring books 
on all that was learned at Polyface through the years.  Eventually 
the farm became a major demonstration site with hundreds of people 
visiting annually, sharing knowledge on how to produce food without 
harmful chemicals, while respecting animals in their care, and 
ultimately returning the farm to a healthy ecosystem.

A Heinz Award winner,  Joel  Salatin was called the 'most innovative 
farmer in the world' by Time Magazine.  He was featured in both the 
Oscar-nominated film Food Inc., and Michael Pollan's best selling 
book, The Omnivore's Dilemma.  Joel Salatin is an inspiration to many 
thousands of farmers around the world.

The film's producer Lisa Heenan shared directing duties with daughter 
Isabella Doherty, chronicling the farm over four years of changing 
seasons.  The film was produced by REGRARIANS Ltd., an Australian 
nonprofit established with partner Darren Doherty to provide 
resources for those who want to regenerate depleted landscapes.

Darren Doherty is one of the world's leading regenerative agriculture 
specialists, who has long advocated for the repair of broadacre 
landscapes as one of the solutions for climate change by sequestering 
carbon in biologically alive soils, and will be in Santa Barbara for 
a sold out workshop he will be teaching on the Gaviota Coast.  Both 
Lisa Heenan & Darren Doherty will be in attendance at the Santa 
Barbara film premiere.

The event takes place on Monday, March 14, 7:30 - 9pm, at the Paseo 
Nuevo Theaters, in the Paseo Nuevo Shopping Mall, downtown Santa 
Barbara, 8 West De La Guerra St (off of State St), 93101. Pre-order 
tickets are available on Event Brite for $10, or $15 at the door.
