Get ready for a day filled with the wisdom and humor of America's favorite farmer and spokesman for real food and sustainable farming...the outrageous Joel Salatin of Polyface Farm.
Joel's had occasion to use our legal services a time or two (or three), as he tends to push the envelope and has our number on speed-dial. He calls the FTCLDF "The Food NRA."
On this special day, he'll share his thoughts on ponderable issues such as:
* Can WE feed the world?
* What can we do?
* What about price?
* Local food marketing
* What would an ideal farm-to-consumer food system look like?
* What would our food system look like if Monsanto/Government had its way?
* Isn't the Free Market what has gotten us to this point?
Joel will tell you that no question is out of bounds, so feel free to bring your own questions and try to stump him--just don't wear him out. After the workshop, he'll be facing off Dr. Joseph Mercola in The Debate of the Decade, and will need his wits about him.
Reserve your seat now! Joel's events are usually standing room only!
$127, while space available

The highlight of this not-to-miss evening will be "The Debate of the Decade": a 32-minute formal Lincoln/Douglas debate moderated by David Gumpert. Two real food movement leaders, Dr. Joseph Mercola and Joel Salatin, will face off over the resolution:
The Federal government should mandate GMO labeling on food.
Dr. Joseph Mercola will speak for the affirmative, and Joel Salatin will speak for the negative.
PRE- and POST-DEBATE FESTIVITIES: The Food During the reception, tickle your taste buds with artisan raw milk cheese, charcuterie, and crackers while you wet your whistle with kombucha. In this three-course meal, savor delicious foods steeped in two traditions: Southern Traditions and Nourishing Traditions. You'll be dining on southern classics such as shrimp and grits, tallow-fried pastured chicken, BBQ grass-fed beef ribs and pears poached in white wine. This is 100% nutrient-dense goodness! Gluten-free, casein-free and Paleo options are also available.  |
