I like to think I'm kind of up on food/farming/conservation news. Not crazy up on it, don't weave my own yogurt or grow my own denim etc... But y'know, have read (and enjoyed) The Good Life, know who Michael Pollen is, grew up with chickens, cows, horses, sheep, Pops is into bees now, blah blah. Anyway, was impressed by this guy Joel Salatin in the (slightly OTT) trailers of Food, Inc. and Fresh and now have discovered who he is... I'm late to the party... time to catch up. Really appreciate how Joel can run the numbers, and uses capital and logical arguments rather than relying on preaching to the choir. Further reading about his Polyface Farm and beyond organic.
'Late to the party' is a segment of new finds for me that are probably old news to others.

Funny when you see something or someone you know well show up on a blog that is in a different part of the country. I live in Charlottesville, not far from Staunton and where Joel's farm is. Been there, eat from his farm on a weekly basis, and am very familiar with his philosophy. Not only can you buy his product in town but he supplies alot of the restaurants in town. Cheers to you and to Joel's words and ideas spreading as far as possible.
btw the denim/yoghurt bit is lifted from UK comedian Alexi Sayle, now in standard use in our house. but in point of fact my granny did make yoghurt at home all the time, great stuff.
