“Before long the most valuable of all arts will be deriving subsistence from the smallest area of soil.
No community whose every member possesses this art, can ever be the victim of oppression.”
~ Abraham Lincoln, 1859
The Wisdom of Joel Salatin
“The first supermarket supposedly appeared on the American landscape in 1946. That is not very long ago. Until then, where was all the food? Dear folks, the food was in homes, gardens, local fields, and forests. It was near kitchens, near tables, near bedsides. It was in the pantry, the cellar, the backyard.”
February Quote: Joel Salatin
“The shorter the chain between raw food and fork, the fresher it is and the more transparent the system is.”
~ Joel Salatin, farmer, rancher, local food philosopher
