Polyface Farm Field Day
Saturday, July 12, 2008
Swoope, Virginia


Come See What Works!
Lots of Fun, Learning & Food!

     Gather the family, load up the car, and head for the hills this summer — the hills of the Salatin’s Polyface Farm — for a day of family fun and learning that could change your life.
     You will see in an up-close and personal way how through respect for nature and innovation your family can make a good living on a small farm. You’ll see how to involve the entire family in your farming operation by making it safe, healthy and fun.
     You’ll meet discerning food buyers, graziers, homesteaders and ecological farmers from across the country in what has become a very special every-three-year reunion.
     Listen to the Salatins explain their pastured poultry operation, how to raise Salad Bar Beef, how to put pigs to work on your farm, how to build relationships with your customers, and more. Best of all, you’ll sit down to a Virginia-style barbeque of healthy, natural food grown to order right on Polyface Farm.
     Beyond the fun and learning on the farm, the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia is rich in history and family fun is everywhere. Make this the centerpiece of your vacation — you’ll be glad you did.
     Read these web pages to find out more about Joel Salatin’s style of farming, his family’s innovative farmstead, the earth-friendly and humane enterprises they profit from, and make your plans today to head to Virginia.

See firsthand the amazing farm profiled in the New York Times bestseller The Omnivore’s Dilemma

“This is chicken as I remember it from
my childhood. It actually tastes like chicken.”

“I just don’t trust the food in the supermarket anymore.”

“These eggs just jump up and slap you in the face!”

“You’re not going to find fresher chickens
anywhere.”

“All this meat comes from happy animals — I know because I’ve seen them. And the pork tenderloin is to die for!”

— comments on Polyface Farm from
The Omnivore’s Dilemma
by Michael Pollan
