Polyface Farms

Added: Jun 5th, 2008
as described in the book “The Omnivore’s Dilemma”, and found on the internet, PF Farms produces on a mere 100 acres of pastureland in a season: 30,000 dozen eggs 10,000 broiling chickens 800 stewing hens 25,000 pounds of beef 25,000 pounds of pork 1,000 turkeys 500 rabbits. And this is done without chemical fertilizers, pesticides, insecticides, or additives. Since the cows’ pastureland is rotated daily, by the time the cows get back to their original starting point, the pasture has improved. This is a remarkable story about remarkable people. It is a blueprint on how we can truly become self-sufficient, and reasonably oil-free. We have some wonderful pastureland in N. Nevada, Yerington, Fallon, and other places could be producing high-quality foods for the metropolitan areas, and help shrink our dependence on foreign influences. I hope that some farmers and ranchers who read this will research Polyface and other like farms, and take that giant leap of faith towards ensuring our futures.
