the lunatic farmer

Saturday evening saw me lucky enough to be sitting dry beneath an enormous red tent in the middle of Northey Street City Farm listening to just my kind of lunatic.
The awesome Joel Salatin spoke of many things that made complete sense to me... and everyone else there....several hundred in fact.
Wow that man is blessed... with the best job in the world and the ability to speak. Inspiring and truthful....
even if his neighbours believe him to be a bio terrorist.
I think perhaps the term lunacy has been applied to the wrong people don't you?
Bless you Joel.

I love that guy! I was watching his videos a few weeks ago while doing research on the restaurant Chipolte. He provides pork for them. He's so inspirational.

Love, love, love Joel! He's very inspiring to say the least. I do think the term lunacy is applied to the wrong people on many occasions, especially concerning Joel.

Northey Street Farm - their Sunday markets are my mini weekly Woodford Folk Festival fix. Happy people, delicious food, music and a fun atmosphere.
Damien and I are booking in for one of their permaculture courses next year.

Oh yeah we're big Joel fans here too.
Our boys spent 2 days last week with him and came back so excited and inspired.
Bet you are too.
