More quotes by Joel Salatin
One of the greatest assets of a farm is the sheer ecstasy of life.
Joel Salatin
How many of us lobby for green energy or protected lands, but don't engage with the local bounty to lay by for tomorrow's unseasonal reality? That we tend to not even think about this as a foundation for solutions in our food systems shows how quickly we want other people to solve these issues.
Joel Salatin
While vegans and meat-eaters disagree, we can all be united in our fear and hatred for the horror that is factory farming.
Joel Salatin
The stronger a culture, the less it fears the radical fringe. The more paranoid and precarious a culture, the less tolerance it offers.

It's a foolish culture that entrusts its food supply to simpletons.
Joel Salatin
Remember, machines don't forgive.

Joel Salatin
The average person is still under the aberrant delusion that food should be somebody else's responsibility until I'm ready to eat it.
Joel Salatin
I don't want to sound too mystical or weird but it's important to know what garlic smells like when it's cooking, or what eggs look like when they're cracked out of a shell.
Joel Salatin
If you think the price of organic food is expensive, have you priced cancer lately.
Joel Salatin
The notion that processed food is cheap and integrity foods are prohibitively expensive is simply not true.
Joel Salatin
I see myself today as Sitting Bull trying to bring a voice of Easternism, holism, community-based thinking to a very Western culture.
Joel Salatin
Even if you don't eat at a fast food restaurant, you're now eating food that's produced by this system.
Joel Salatin
Don't you find it odd that people will put more work into choosing their mechanic or house contractor than they will into choosing the person who grows their food?
Joel Salatin
If a job is worth doing, it's worth doing poorly first.
Joel Salatin
You wanna get diarrhoea? Eat industrial food.
Joel Salatin
Nobody trusts the industrial food system to give them good food.
