If our world governments were manned with people like Joel Salatin we'd all be in a much better place right now. 👍👍👍
And Doug Casey too.
We wouldn’t need government if that were the case
Salatin and Casey. Two of the best veterans of freedom!
You've been doing your part, Curtis!
I got introduced to watching your videos by Jeff Berwick about a year ago.
@@DougCaseysTake I would love to have a chat with you gentlemen any time. Just putting it out there. ;)
Wow. This was a great episode!!
Hey another legend who's practices I use in conjunction with Salatin. On a side note from America GO CANADA!!!!!!
My wife and I have been to Joel's farm and even had dinner with him and his lovely wife one night (and we took them out to dinner the next night). You won't find a more down-to-earth couple to spend some time with. We could listen to Joel talk for hours and, in fact, have purchased all his books and the "Salatin Semester" course too. Thanks for interviewing Joel and helping others to learn about him and his mission to save our health!
Joel is a great man.
Amen
@@DougCaseysTakeindeed!
I can’t tell you how many hours of Joel Salatin videos I’ve listened to in my travels on the Hwy.
Thanks to Joel, some years ago we went out and got to know our local farmers and started buying directly from them. Even trading work for produce or meat sometimes. A true win/win. And the health benefits of eating grass fed, free range, organically grown, etc etc is immeasurable. And now, with grocery shelves frequently half empty, it is comforting to know we have these good relationships with local producers.
Thank you Joel for all your good advice, and thanks Matt/Doug for the interview.
I visited Joel’s Polyface Farm 27 years ago. He’s the Real deal!
Now I’m going to have to dig up the few photos I took of Joel, his lovely wife and Daniel as a boy! My 2 sons were just toddlers and I had read about Joel in a magazine so we just packed the minivan and drove from Ohio to VA. I looked up Joel’s number in the hotel’s phone book, called him and he said, “Come on over tomorrow, we’re doing chickens!” We walked with him as he pulled the chicken tractors to fresh grass, set up the open air processing plant, helped where I could, and tried to stay out of the way as Joel worked like a tornado, explaining everything as he went. I bought a copy of his spiral-bound book, but am sad because a friend borrowed that book and never returned it!
I came back home and had gained the courage to transform my farm into a 50-head organic, grass-fed beef operation. I did that for 15 years, but with zero interest or support from wife and kids, sold the herd and rented out the farm. (The kids are excellent musicians and artists, so can’t blame them. Wife is a professional and had grown up on THIS farm, so she worked away from home and I changed diapers!)
5 years ago I bought a little bandsaw mill so I sawed 50% of the lumber that my son built his tiny house with. All trees from our woods.
The farm has been a great place to raise 4 kids and to be semi-retired. Granddaughter makes it 4 generations of wife’s family here. Good times.
One of the most refreshing videos I have watched in a long time. Such an incredible interview!
Awesome interview! I apprenticed on a raw goat diary farm in Austin, Texas back in 2005 when i was 22. Talk about the hardest work and most rewarding I've ever done. I still can't believe how much knowledge I retained from that experience.
That is awesome!
That Austin is long gone.
Can’t believe I missed this jewel of an episode this long, but as they say better late than never. Farmers fisherman trucker and the ladies that do it we feed the world
If Americans don’t listen and pay heed to Mr. Salatin, we are doomed
Love Joel and Doug. Amazing conversation from all 3!
Not true.
We're doomed only if we keep giving money to the stock market corporations controlled by black rock, vanguard, state Street, and the 6 big banks. (Basically all stock market corporations).
Banks WILL continue to fail, big corporations who don't serve the customers will fail, and working together / buying local / being self reliant will become the new normal.
Wither we buy chemical foods and pay for Dr. Bills later in life OR we pay for natural foods and live healthy / longer... We will pay for it.
"If ye are prepared ye shall not fear "
We are not doomed jest going to get very expensive for the ones that don't change for the times we are in
I said before and I am saying again this channel is the best in the UA-cam! We are so need this kind of conversation to empower ourselves in a society where one often feels like there is no hope in the world! Thank you Joel, Matt, and Doug!👍
Joel’s disposition of his chicken being 25x cleaner (or less likely to spread infectious disease) than the “big players” and continuing to come against regulatory bodies keeping him from selling a better product reminds me of a documentary that I saw…it was of a group of nuns making cheese in wooden barrels.
The main nun in charge of the operation was a microbiologist who was told by the regulatory bodies that they could not use wood because the unsmooth surface was a breeding ground for harmful bacteria. She then showed that when they used stainless steel barrels that were meticulously cleaned, there was always mold and other bacterial infections. But when they used the wood, good bacteria would grow in the wood and keep the bad bacteria from growing and ruining the cheese.
Bless her heart, she spent an inordinate amount of time, energy, and resources to prove what she already knew, but thankfully was able to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that using sanitized stainless steel was in fact much worse than using bare wood and she won her case and the sisterhood was allowed to carry on as their ancestors had for many generations.
The man is a bloody legend!!
Most excellent conversation!
Joel is such a inspiration and as a ex usda inspection supervisor ( self retired five years ago) he is so on point about regulations slanted towards the big guys! Thanks Doug and Matt for another great show, always the best conversation on the web!
This podcast is a life-long jewel. Thank you very much Gentlemen.
Listening this, bring to me a huge amount of energy, clarification & agreement of how life symbiosis works into reality.
As always, another fantastic conversation!
A few weeks back, you guys said that you were going to attempt to get Joel Salatin on screen. Well, you guys delivered again! Since I have been in agriculture for 20 plus years, I was beside myself anticipating this very episode! 24:12 I have this book and will more than likely pick up a few others mentioned!
On his daughter-in-laws website, she mentions one of her father-in-laws favorite quotes! "If the young farmer can't get in, the old farmer can't get out!" Absolutely true!
Joel mentions a phrase that has struck a cord: "circumvention, not compliance" Fantastic information!
1:29:34 "I will follow you like a disciple" Absolutely perfect!
Much gratitude gentlemen! Sincerely! ♥️
a curious matter in Spain. raw milk was sold freshly milked. it was boiled and drank in all the houses. today it is prohibited, the milk must be UHT or pasteurized. You can buy raw milk, with all the nutrients, just labeled "For Cats." It is easier to sell healthy food for men labeled for animals
Control the food.....
Excellent Doug .
Many thanks for this fascinating talk .
I'm 73 and don't get enthused by much nowadays but this is exceptional
Wow!! truly an amazing conversation, can’t get the smile off my dial, thanks so much. 🙏
Fantastic, the best interview I have watched in a long time! Just wonderful. Joel Salatin for President! Thank you from Alaska!
Mr. Salatin is an absolute genius; so many excellent ideas...
Very inspiring...if I were a young US citizen I'd jump at the possibility of an Apprenticeship on his farm. Very interesting...even at 55 I'm considering entering farming - now may be a golden moment to enter.
This video should be shown in every highschool civics class across the country as a special topics session.
I've watched them all and this was a special episode. It's so true what Mr Salatin was saying about the land owners all growing old and most of the kids left the farm and living in town. In NZ and Australia this is very true. In Queensland, Australia there's large areas of cheap rural land there are lots of these run down farming communities that were once great but now they need a new generation of farmers to take over and make these places great once again. Mr Salatin really lays out a blueprint for success here, im thinking of trying something similar. Will be watching this podcast many times, cheers!
Joe is a very knowledge guy I could listen to him all day.
I'm preparing to enter my third year of regenerative farming. Last year was the first year I reaped the reward. I expect it to be even better this year. I'm using practices derived from Joel and a couple others. This spring I'm hoping May I'm going to put in a 3/4 acre pond for panfish and yellow perch. My pond will have a wetland filter system. I'm designing with a clear out that will enable me to pull waste for fertilizer and water with micronutrients. I anticipate this will be a game changer on what I'm doing but also ensures my family's sustainability. When I install the pond drainage I intend to lay geothermal for greenhouses, killing 2 birds with 1 stone. Great interview with a brilliant Man.
For reference UPS and FEDEX do the same automated routing to eliminate LEFT-hand turns, i.e. cross traffic. Thank you very much to all of you taking the time to share this wisdom.
I discovered the scientific explanation for "Natural Farming" 40 years ago when I saw a documentary on Masanobu Fukuoka, a micro-biologist who inherited a small farm, mismanaged it, and had an epiphany. He started over epistemologically, looking to nature for guidance, adopting the mantra, "do nothing harmful", e.g., don't get in nature's way, work with it, not against it. This takes careful (thoughtful) study, e.g., asking yourself, "Does nature do this?"
found out recently his American disciple Larry Korn passed away in 2019... RIP
Interesting that that mantra used to be used by medical people. First do no harm...🤔
I grow up in a 2 acres farm in Eastern Europe. I lived there with my parents, grandparents (in guest house) and my 2 sisters. My parents and my grandfather went to work. Us kids, went to school and my grandmother was at home. She had animals to care for and lots of vegetable gardens. We also have many fruit trees around the farm including walnuts tree and fig tree, cherry, apricots, apples, pears, plums, raspberry, blackberries, strawberries, small vineyard. My grandma was one woman operation! She did it all and she produced so much food so we couldn’t possibly eat everything even after the cellar was full of preserved jars, pickled vegetables, salsas, home made wine and brandy. The neighbors around us lived in small farms as well and they were bartering stuff with my grandma all the time. Eggs for fish, or lamb meat for a live chicken and many others… Everything was fresh, clean and delicious. She produced so much food from only 2 acres. How much is enough really? If you think you will make millions of $ farming you don’t understand nature. My grandma created her own ecosystem, she was connected to the land and the nature and she was getting back from it more than we need it. We have 10 sheep 🐑, they give you milk, from the milk you make yogurt, then feta cheese and butter. From the sheep wool she made yarn 🧶 and then sweaters, scarfs, socks you name it. Why everything in this world now has to be big? And then if you have big you want bigger. We live now in a world were you just need to be happy, you don’t need to be “happier” then others. It’s a stupid, fake made up game for you to sink in misery and no purpose! Farm for yourself and your family! Start small :)
What an inspiring interview with another Legend! Thanks Matt and Doug and Joel!
Awesome choice of having Joel Salatin. Amazing work he s doing preparing citizens for coming depression. Being in the food industry I saw how the corporations hijacked the organic certification process that small farmers couldn’t do because it became a bureaucratic process costing a lot of money.
Message of hope.
This was a special treat. I love Joel. A legend.
Joel is amazing. I'm so glad you had him on.
What another great interview 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you - what a profound interview with Joel...
Great video! I'm tired of our food being sent to other countries, while we get under rated food from other countries.ie Mexico, China. That's why I grow my own vegetables.
Joel Salatin is correct about the bacteria fixing N2 Nitrogen into Nh2, Nh from the nodules of the plant`s roots. This is very "cheap, lol" than using the Haber process to fix Nitrogen, which happens to require lots of energy and pressure, temperature, which is quite pricey now.
Joel answers a philosophical gap that Doug and Matt's audience seeks. People see society falling apart and ask "to where should we move" and "what should I invest in to protect my money". Joel gives us the answer: jump on his farm to table bandwagon. This offers to satisfy so many human needs. Needing to do something productive. Providing sustenance. Building community. Creating a (truly) sustainable food production system. Nurturing, not scheming.
💯 and growing food for one’s family is a solid start
Thank you, Dough, Matthew, and Joel.
This was worth rewatching a year later! I would love to see how all are handling things with the new and not improved situations happening.
That is one of the most hopeful UA-cam videos that I have seen in years. Now if we can keep the Bolsheviks' hands off of private property and stop the demonization of the word "carbon" we might survive as a civilization.
Wow...love the attitude of joel...what enegy he has...there is hope:) thanks legends 🙌
Wow. Matt and Doug, to have a smart and classy guy like Joel say such nice things about YOU, good on you for being deserving of it.
Joel's comment and Doug's laugh @50:42 were just so contagious and real. Great interview and definitely learned a ton.
Great program....Know Your Farmer, Become The Farmer...Love you Guys...
Wow, what a fantastic interview. My family are organic farmers in Sweden these ideas are spectacular and inspirational.
35:04 the talk on PMAs is absolutely GOLD. Worth watching just for the few minutes Joel talks about it.
Brilliant! Also in the EU the Health and Safety regulations are crushing the farmers. But they get compliance through CAPs (subsidies) - controling what and how is grown or processed. A side effect of those CAPs is also a very comprehensive register of food producers and the right to examine their property as and when they please. I love the idea of a creative law interpretation - as it is impossible to reform it. Great interview thanks!
Here in USA too
Based Brother! God Bless all!
So cool. Awesome to see Salatin on this show. I own a small farm with a retail location in Massachusetts as my main business. We are slowly learning to make profits- been open since 2018. Not trying to brag just want to share- we won best new farm stand in Massachusetts by farm bureau.
It’s funny I was first shown salatin by my professors in the context of rotational grazing I think 🤔 that would have been 2011ish. I dropped out to follow my passion of permaculture and soon stumbled upon Doug casey on the internet and have been hooked ever since.
Honestly, didn’t realize salatin was a libertarian because I haven’t tuned in since school.
Very cool to see these guys together, loved the chat. Appreciate the ecological side to salatin’s philosophy. full circle moment for me 🙌
Wow that was amazing.! Thank you thank you thank you
It is for this reason, to work in something that produces value, that I will buy a machining workshop, despite not being necessary and having financial independence.
The small units that produce value will be the ones who take the economy forward, the rest are busy with papers.
I hope to survive and benefit, and if the law and your health allow it, I will visit you in Uruguay. Things will slow down in may 2023, and will have a chance in 2025, to achive freedom
Thanks for another great conversation. You guys never disappoint.
Awesome show, Doug and Matt. Best ever! It gives me hope for the future.
Doug, not sure how your farming has evolved this year after Joel's talk but what you want on your farm is start with your interests (such as you like cattle/corn/whatever) because otherwise you won't have your heart in it, and then find a niche you can focus on. From there work at getting your product as direct to the consumer as possible so you own the whole supply chain from field to consumer. Keep your capital equipment costs low (refurbish old machinery) as well as your inputs low (grow your own hay, compost your own fertilizer). Any other path you are going into commodity farming where you are playing the game of pitting your banker against the other regional farmer's bankers; it seems like a good game until you realize you are their boxing gloves and it's your arms out there swinging every day getting tired. Passion, niches, and low costs can make it in farming. Make an update on how your farms are doing now.
Adding value at the gate. Once we sold milk direct to the dairy company who bottled it. But our milk has a very high cream content sol then we started selling it to a cheese company too. We gained a little profit.
Now we make the cheese,butter and other products and make a larger profit.
Then we discovered the demand for goats milk and cheese. The first cheese hits the shelves next week....
What a fresh breath of air. Thank you.❤
Thank you.
Amazing that you've got Joel Salatin on Doug Casey's show. I've respected him for almost 7 years because Tai Lopez always talks about him.
3 capitalists🤝👏👍
Awesome podcast. I enjoyed every second of it amazingly💯🌟💫
Great stuff guys. This is the way
This is the way!
This should be shown in schools.. you know, if we had actual schools.
Thank you all. Very excellent presentation. Peace soon.
Billions and billions and billions of dollars. What do I do with it? I guess I'll just have to monopolize the food supply. What's next? I'll give myself ownership of the air.
And we all purchased Gates garbage and enriched him
This is horrible, but is the truth.
This is the result of riches (or wit) without morals.
Now here’s a match up I never would have imagined
Whoaaa! This looks totally legit and not like the perfect example of a scam post bot!
Everyone look and learn. This is what a scam looks like okay?
I am so pleased to hear truth.
Joel and Doug are different in many ways but the roots of liberty run deep between them.
If Doug Casey is interviewing Joel Salatin, I have a feeling and hope that regenerative agriculture is about to go nuclear.
MONSANTO ! Poison ☠️ the producción
Great work 👏
Greg Judy is a good reference for managing a farm with out owning the land.
when i was starting out inLife as a Adult my wife and I bought our tarter home inMaryland which was a Suburb of the WashingtonD.C. Metropolitan area and the big wave for needed housing was being done by developers buying up FarmLand many of those Farmers began surviving by expanding their Roadside FarmStands into nice new retail Stores that did offer a more expensive buy better grade of food then the local Supermarkets the profits on those stores allowed the families to continue working the Farm and keeping their land,Equipment ,and Family homesteads
Awesome information!😍👍
I am so glad I found Casey by searching for Ron Paul, Tom Woods and Richard MAYBURRY for advice about prepping and economic collapse
Emigrated from South Africa to Uruguay and just love Uruguay. Would love to meet Doug Casey
Contact me, matt, on telegram @mattpheus
Your best episode to date in my opinion. I live in Virginia and will be purchasing a tour to this farm in the spring. I already buy beef locally but will be purchasing some eggs/chickens from their farm since it can ship here in VA. Thank you.
FGB...FGB. THIS MAN WILL BE BROUGHT TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE LIFE
Awesome guys. Much appreciated. Worth another listen for sure. So true like in Asia if your food makes folks sick your business fails and you and the family go hungry. Cheers
Fantastic discussion guys - thank you
Great show! Glad the audio is finally on point thanks guys
What a great and necessary mission!
This in my opinion is exactly why in our area we are not competitive in the business of processing facilities slutter houses. I'm in Renfrew county and we are stuck not being able to supply the people with the product they are looking for. Being beef pork and lamb. Chicken we have got to take it out of the area to have it processed legally to sell to our neighbors. We a few years ago had many backyard butchers now it's basically two processing facilities. Witch puts us in a position of impossibility of selling our products locally. We have got to book the slotter months ahead and customers understandably want there meat quickly all these regulations have put the small guy out of business. It is very hard and frustrating trying to keep selling out products to our neighbors to say. And nobody wants to get into this risky type of business. Even shipping our products to the sale barns is being insane with regulations. I say it's time for less jobs in the inspections and regulatory agencies leave the farmer do what he's always done best.
Food Church? Awesome 😍😎!
Wonderful
I love that Joel & farms like his can possibly take down the GMO Goliaths!! Great discussion!!
Oh No!!! I have to correct Joel:
1. Weather
2. Price
3. Pestilence
4. Disease
AND AND AND
5. GOVERNMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We will FORGIVE Joel for this oversight. OR maybe he has found a secret area in VA that is a true Land of the Free !!!
LOL, All joking aside, Joel is great and what he is doing is great. Hope to meet him, Doug and Matt one day.
My Wife and I LOVE THE INTERVIEWS!!!!! Be Blessed!!
You should ask Curtis Stone to be a guest. He know's Joel.
Curtis is great.
This was very special. Thanks guys
This is the most brilliant youtube interview ever.
I am only 10 minutes into this video and you are speaking my language! I am a nobody and i have known this stuff forever. I thought i was on a leftist tofu video until you caught my attention! I'm listening carefully to the whole video!
I have been to some of these and I won't say which but they have unsanitary conditions where it's nothing that a bleach bath won't solve. Heart burn comes from all this heavily chlorinated food along with the preservatives. It is weird to have just stated that.
Thank you for this very important piece!
delighted to see Doug and Joel together. I could recommend to Doug the videos and books of Dale Strickler (and also those of Colin Seis) on integrating crops and livestock in a regenerative way. Hey we may be living in insane times, but also exciting ones where Western Culture is being transformed from its contempt for nature, obsession with specialization, scale and man-designed alternatives to nature - which inevitably produces rat-like behavior as well as ecological catastrophe = into one that values learning nature's secrets, integrating and descaling and ingenuity. Delightful to hear how the big boys are being outpaced as fossil fuels get more expensive and peer-to peer communication develops - also how clever people are outsmarting the bureaucrats! They are putting COVID vaccines into food now, so the process of 'rogue food' will accelerate rapidly. Maybe an idea for Doug, since I suspect he is rich would be to split his farm up and get hundreds of small landless guys to run their part - with the best guidance on regenerative farming and shared equipment... maybe he is not MEANT to turn a profit in the conventional sense! Enjoy you both!
Best interview yet
Excellent! ❤
Amazing Interview!
Companion gardening. A sustainable regenerative way to consume food and restore the Earth.
Excellent video 👏👍💪🙏❤️
A ma zing talk. Thank you Gentelmen.
Fantastic! Joel for King
Great stuff.
