Joel is a well respected farmer who epitomizes non-industrial food production. He raises pasture-fed livestock, including cows, chicken, pig, turkey and rabbits, using holistic methods to develop emotionally, economically and environmentally sound agricultural enterprises. Meat from his farm is sold by direct-marketing to consumers and restaurants.
