"Everyone should farm something."
I met Tony and Betsey Brown during the Polyface Farms Intensive Discovery Seminar in July of 2016. We stayed in touch after the seminar and continue to share stories and lessons learned about our journey towards sustainable farming. I had the chance to interview them, and you can listen to it below. You can find them on the web at longviewfarmsfl.com and on Instagram @longviewfarmsfl. Hope you enjoy the show.
This is a great podcast with my farming mentor Joel Salatin.

There is something very special about raising your own broilers and processing them yourself on the farm. We learned a lot this first go around. It took three guys four hours to process forty birds – not too bad for first-timers. Several folks had asked about coming out to watch, but Read More
Last Tuesday we took delivery of our first batch of cornish-cross broilers. The family was excited to welcome these 50 little chicks to our farm. We had never raised this many chicks at one time. The most we ever raised at one time was about 20. In the brooder, we had fresh water, non-GMO feed, good bedding and two heat lamps. Everything looked good as we watched the chicks get used to their new home. Wednesday morning, I went out Read More
Sorry for the Yoda-ish title, but my family loves the Star Wars movies, and I believe what the title says. These are oddly enough, exciting times in America. I will start with a reminder: ALL of human history is about what God is doing with His people. Every other story is secondary.

That’s the way the conversation started. You may or may not know, but a couple of weeks ago, I shared my desire to attend one of the Polyface Intensive Discovery Seminars (PIDS) in Swoope, VA. These two-day seminars are led by the one and only Joel Salatin, and attendees get to experience the Polyface way of farming, hands-on, and eat three meals a day with them on the farm. Past attendees say the food alone is worth the fee. Anyway, Read More
