“America’s farmer” Joel Salatin and his team at world-famous Polyface Farm are offering to host an educational weekend this summer for the Peak Prosperity tribe.
Would you be interested in attending?
Understandably, COVID remains a big concern.
But we’re hearing from a growing number of folks that with accelerating vaccination roll-out, improved standard of care, and warmer wetter weather, people are looking forward to emerging from lockdown by summer and re-engaging with life — and this event seems a good candidate on many levels (especially since much if it will happen outdoors).
Joel and team have contacted us, letting us know they’re willing to offer the Peak Prosperity tribe an amazing two-day (Fri-Sat) experience at Polyface Farms in Swoope, VA focused on the fundamentals of sustainable farming and food production.
They’ll tailor the curriculum to our interests. But programming we’re already discussing includes:
- Raising portable livestock & the systems required (fencing, water, shelter)
- Cows
- Pigs
- Chickens (broilers)
- Chickens (layers)
- Turkeys
- Rabbits
- Sheep
- Ducks
- Processing poultry and rabbits on your own
- Soil Fertility
- Carbon economy
- Composting
- Perennial root pulsing
- Designing your farmstead
- Reading the topography
- Placement for efficiency
- Access development
- Reading the topography
- Building essential farmstead structures
- Do-it-yourself
- Deep bedding
- Functionality
- Profiting from your woodlot
- Selecting to upgrade
- Using everything
- Milling on a band saw mill
- Developing farmstead water systems
- Ponds
- Pumping
- Pipes
- Cisterns
- Leasing nearby properties for farmstead use
Day one will be fully packed with presentations, tours, and live demos on the farm. A fresh farm lunch and dinner will be included.
Day two will continue the learning, though also have intentional space for the PP tribe to socialize and enjoy each other’s company. Fresh farm lunch included.
This is an experience we’ve been trying to line up for years with Joel. If you’re interested in learning how to improve your own food production and Living Capital resilience, it really doesn’t get any better than this. There’s no better master on the subject alive today.
So the big question is: how many of us would feel comfortable traveling to Swoope, VA and spending a weekend together on Joel’s farm this summer?
Please take thirty seconds to let us know your level of interest by answering this very brief survey:

We’ll need at least 80 folks willing to go in order lock in the event with Joel. I personally will attend if we’re able to achieve critical mass.
If not, we’ll start exploring the potential for a 2022 date with Joel and team.
Please let us know your preference by taking the quick survey above.
cheers,
Adam
