Joel Salatin – Lunatic Farmer

You would not be wrong thinking of Joel Salatin as a kind of food evangelist. After all, this self-described ‘lunatic farmer’ travels the country preaching common sense and real food with all the energetic fervor of a true believer. Recently, Mr. Salatin spoke to a sold-out audience (co-sponsored by The Woodstock Land Conservancy and the Woodstock Farm Festival), where he had plenty to say. He was kind enough to make time to speak with us before taking the stage. His wit, wisdom and salient points made us realize how powerful a speaker, an advocate and, well . . . evangelist he is for the cause of good food practices.
