This unique workshop offers both producers and consumers (or co-producers) the opportunity to learn how to build resilient, effective and profitable Local Food Systems from the ground up. Joel Salatin of PolyFace Farms is a world-leading example of how a small family farm can become an extremely diverse and profitable Local Food producer, and how the benefits of Local Food Systems can create resilence, stability and abundance for both local farmers and the wider community. Featured in Michael Pollan’s book, The Omnivore’s Dilemma, and in the films FRESH and FOOD, Inc., Joel and his family at Polyface Farms exemplify successful small-scale farming and the growing relocalization movement. In this comprehensive workshop, Joel will challenge participants to design pathways to relocalisation based on techniques and directions from the emerging relocalisation movement and his own very successful and innovative model at Polyface Farms in Virginia, USA.
