Joel Salatin of Polyface Farms
As if having fancy-pants Hubert Keller to headline this weekend's Taste of St. Louis wasn't enough, Monday brings to town another big-name foodie celebrity. Joel Salatin -- the locavore evangelist who gained national celebrity in Michael Pollan's book, The Omnivore's Dilemma and this year's muckraking documentary Food, Inc -- will be speaking Monday night at Webster University.
As the owner of Polyface Farms in rural Virginia, Salatin has been an outspoken advocate for organically-raised food that is produced in harmony with nature. In sharp contrast to large-scale factory farming that generates loads of waste and less-than ideal conditions for animals and the subsequent meat they produce, Salatin practices pasture-based methods that allow the most natural feeding, fertilizing and processing possible. At Webster, he will present the lecture, "Ballet in the Pasture" about the family farm. The talk is free, but it will likely be a full house, so make reservations here: http://www.webster.edu/salatin
Right on the heels of yesterday's Farm Aid concert, Salatin's visit could not have come at a more appropriate time. For more information, visit Webster's website: http://webster.edu/news/releases/joelsalatin_091037.shtml
Salatin will be speaking tonight at 7:30 in Webster University's Grant Gymnasium, 175 Edgar Road, Webster Groves, MO 63119.
