Event Details
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 this 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. Wear comfortable shoes you don’t mind getting dirty! The tour is led by Matt Rales, an apprentice manager at
Polyface for 2 years.
When: Friday, August 6, 2010
Cost: $100/person ages 18 and up; $85 for children 12 to 17
(no children under 12) and for Center for Rural Culture Members. Cost includes
bus fee, box lunch provided by Ellwood Thompson's Local Market, drinks, 
movie screening on the bus, tour.
Where: Meet in the parking lot behind Virginia Community
Bank (the new home to Center for Rural Culture’s offices), 3009 River Road
West, Goochland 23063 at 10:00 am. The bus leaves at 10:30, arriving at
Polyface Inc. at approximately 12:30 pm. The tour runs from 1:00 to 3:00 pm. The bus
will arrive back in Goochland around 5:30 pm.

Hosted By
Center for Rural Culture
The
Center for Rural Culture is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization whose
mission is to educate, promote and inspire members of our community to sustain
a culture that supports agriculture and the local economy, protects natural and
historic resources, and maintains our rural character and traditions. Since
2004, we have been working hard to provide the members of our community with
quality programs that serve to sustain our rural culture. As founders of
the popular Goochland Farmers Market and now a licensee for an online Farm to
Family Co-op Program through Lulus Local Food, we have helped to keep valuable
agricultural land in use by providing a means for farmers to sell fresh, local,
seasonal food and other land based products. We serve as a conduit for
handing down the history, stories, music and lifestyles related to a rich,
rural culture and have helped to cultivate our local roots.
We
also offer classes, workshops, movies, panel discussions, seminars and forums
relating to land and water conservation, smart growth, sustainable agriculture
and issues relating to our local food system. Please contact us if you
are interested in sponsoring or attending a CRC event.
The
Center for Rural Culture serves as the umbrella organization for the Richmond
Area Buy Fresh, Buy Local Chapter. We are also actively involved in
supporting our community’s tourism and economic development through our popular
Discover Goochland website.
Our
choices make a difference every day. Please choose to sustain your community’s
rural culture and make a difference through an annual membership with the
Center for Rural Culture.
