Book Review: Polyface Designs: by Joel Salatin & Chris Slattery
“One of the greatest assets of a farm is the sheer ecstasy of life.” ~ Joel Salatin
Joel Salatin is one of the most profitable small farmers in America. He and his family have worked long and hard. The innovations that have emerged from their Polyface Farm in rural Virginia have been shared widely through books, workshops, and an endless series of interviews. The Salatins’ energetic output bespeaks of the benefits of healthy food. Their generosity bespeaks of their faith and love of the land and farming.
In Polyface Designs: A Comprehensive Construction Guide for Scalable Farming Infrastructure, Joel Salatin teams up with engineer-turned-farmer Chris Slattery to provide detailed construction plans for everything from his famous eggmobiles to hoop houses and hay wagons.
This is another great contribution from small farmers who not only know how to create successful farms but to grow and inspire a new generation of successful small farmers.

Joel is definitely one of my favorite farmers. I remember reading his other book, “Everything I want to Do is Illegal” and at the time I could relate because I lived in New Jersey and in New Jersey all you can do is work, pay taxes and die. So glad I left there, I enjoy freedoms in my new home state I never had back there.
LOVE that Solari is featuring Joel Salatin, and the short synopsis of “Polyfaces”… taken from the full 90 Minute documentary by the same name.
I heard about Joel around the same time I met Warren Brush of Quail Springs Permaculture, during a Permaculture class with Warren.
The Sallatins took a piece of burned out farmland, and built the top soil back up into ideal pasture land with deep fertility and vitality.
His methods and teaching make him a true National Treasure for the rest of us.
