FRESH celebrates the farmers, thinkers and business people across America who are re-inventing our food system. Each has witnessed the rapid transformation of our agriculture into an industrial model, and confronted the consequences: food contamination, environmental pollution, depletion of natural resources, and morbid obesity. Forging healthier, sustainable alternatives, they offer a practical vision for a future of our food and our planet. 

To view a trailer or for more info about the movie, visit www.freshthemovie.com.

Polyface Farm Tour

Polyface Farm, and its owner Joel Salatin, have become well-known through media such as the movies Food, Inc. and Fresh, and Michael Pollan’s book The Omnivore’s Dilemma, as a model for sustainable agriculture. Their method of Pastured (grass-fed and field rotated) Livestock and Poultry is among their guiding principles. Salatin is not without his critics, however; he calls himself a “lunatic farmer” who is “beyond organic”, where some others call him a “bio-terrorist” in his dealings with nearby farms and whose talk has hurt those small farms who have chosen to become organic certified.

The Center for Rural Culture, who neither opposes nor endorses Salatin and Polyface Farm, invites you to decide for yourself. Join us on an educational walking tour that includes “chicks, pastured broilers, pastured eggs, pigaerator pork, salad bar beef, and pastured turkeys”.
WARNING: This is a 1.5 mile walking tour on a farm. The tour is led by Matt Rales, an apprentice manager at Polyface for 2 years.
