Joel Salatin, Beyond Organic : Local Foods to the Rescue
Join Transition Colorado for an evening with Joel Salatin, the world's most-recognized "beyond organic" and strictly local, clean food farmer, prolific author and inspiring speaker. Salatin, with his family owns Polyface Farm in Virginia, featured prominently in the NYT bestseller "Omnivore's Dilemma" and the Oscar-nominated documentary, "Food Inc.," as well as "Fresh: The Movie."

In this dynamic presentation, Joel will reveal the astonishingly obvious steps we all must take towards a food future that is beyond sustainable. If you are a farmer, understand your potential to renew and inspire your local community through clean food. If you live in town, discover the power you have to patronize your local farms and decouple them from wholly unfair corporate forces. Help your local farmers transform their farms into profitable and wholesome operations producing food you can trust. Become instrumental in the conscientious transformation of the current dysfunctional food production system to the regenerative model that Polyface Farm has proven wildly successful.

Ride the free HOP 2 Chautauqua shuttle to this event.
