guided by stewards
inspiration evokes change
I see brighter days
I see brighter days for two reasons. 1.) I simply wish that the rain would cease.
and 2.) Because of people like Joel Salatin.
Cody and I attended "An Evening with Joel Salatin" tonight. It was a great presentation that entertained and inspired. Joel owns and operates Polyface, Inc., a farm in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. The virtual tour he gave us during the talk had some wonderful photos, and along the way, he revealed mind blowing revelations. Joel is a true visionary. Really. I hope to share more about Polyface, Inc in the future, and maybe even head that way for a long weekend as the weather begins to warm. We have been dying to go camping in the Shenandoah Valley for awhile now :)
Have a wonderful weekend!

the name sounds familiar. I wonder if he was mentioned in The Omnivore's Dilemma as one of the organic farmers ..
very sunny and cheerful photo!
glad you had a great evening. I bet it would be beautiful to camp there in the fall.
I'm reading your haiku with a more profound meaning...yes it means more to me, thanks!
Happy Friday...
Love the golden tones in your photo and your haiku, too. Thank you for introducing me/us to Joel Salatin. The video was fantastic. I love his attitude and mission in life. I love the way he set out the ramp for the chickens and greeted them "good morning." How special is that?
yes indeed, brighter days ahead!!
What a great guy,.. I'd have enjoyed that evening, I'm sure. I like his philosophy, wish more people thought that way.
Really fantastic!
What a lovely post.
i had read about polyface before. extraordinary undertaking. we should be hoping that the rain stops in north dakota right now. weather rages on there. have a great weekend.
What a beautiful photo - hope you see some sunny skies soon!
Polyface - I've heard of that. Ah yes, probably omnivore's dilemna or something. Still need to watch the video you included.
That top photo is so golden I just love it.

What an inspiration! I wish more people realized the importance of small farms. I hope to have my own small hobby farm when we move. Chickens, goats, guineas, donkeys, I'm so excited to think about it! Thanks for posting this great story.
