This is the latest installment of Harvest Public Media’s Field Notes, in which we talk about important issues related to food production.
Joel Salatin has become one of the rock stars of the local food movement. He’s written books, appeared in documentaries and schedules speaking engagements nationwide. Among foodies, he’s a celebrity.

Listen to this week's Field Notes to hear highlights from their conversation.
