Joel Salatin is an American farmer, lecturer, and author who raises livestock at Polyface Farm in Swoope, Virginia, in the Shenandoah Valley, where meat is sold directly to consumers and restaurants. His books draw on that work. Everything I Want to Do Is Illegal looks at the rules that make small, community-based farming hard, and Folks, This Ain't Normal offers his practical advice on raising healthier hens and people and building a better food system.
