Beautiful trees!

Hello draft horse!

They are Belgians

The videos start from here on, some have lower sound quality due to the wind that day. The videos are informative and fun to watch! First up is Joel’s Intro to all of the attendees of the Field day with Joel Salatin

Talking about layers

Friendly chickies!

Explaining the Feathernet

Easy to use, predator safe

You can apply it easier with two but can do it with one person

Each post has a stake that is put in where electric netting is needed

Very good turn out

Great mild day!

The walk was long and worth it

Checking out the mobile layer housing

LUNCH TIME AND QUESTIONS FOR JOEL- NO ONE COULD RESIST ASKING A MILLION QUESTIONS! Asked next is our question by someone else, Why doesn’t Joel raise heritage meat birds. It goes back to being a nudist Buddhist.
