Joel Salatin farms Polyface Farm in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, and he writes as what he is: an entrepreneur who happens to raise grass, cattle, pigs and poultry. You Can Farm is his handbook for anyone who wants to make a living from the land rather than a hobby of it.
Salatin treats farming as a business first. He covers choosing enterprises that pay, keeping capital costs low, selling directly to customers, pricing for a profit, and the habits of mind a self-employed farmer needs. He is frank about the work and frank about the money, and he has no patience for the idea that a small farmer must wait on subsidies or permission.
For readers of our Austrian and Distributist shelves, it is the practical companion to the theory: what owning and working your own productive property actually looks like, written by a man who does it. Pair it with Good Earth MCP and the instruments in our Terroir collection, which help a grower decide when and where to plant.
