From farmer Joel Salatin's point of view, life in the 21st
century just ain't normal. In FOLKS, THIS AIN'T NORMAL, he
discusses how far removed we are from the simple,
sustainable joy that comes from living close to the land and
the people we love. Salatin has many thoughts on what normal
is and shares practical and philosophical ideas for changing
our lives in small ways that have big impact. Salatin, hailed by the New York Times as "Virginia's most
multifaceted agrarian since Thomas Jefferson [and] the high
priest of the pasture" and profiled in the Academy Award
nominated documentary Food, Inc. and the bestselling book
The Omnivore's Dilemma, understands what food should be:
Wholesome, seasonal, raised naturally, procured locally,
prepared lovingly, and eaten with a profound reverence for
the circle of life. And his message doesn't stop there. From
child-rearing, to creating quality family time, to
respecting the environment, Salatin writes with a wicked
sense of humor and true storyteller's knack for the
revealing anecdote. Salatin's crucial message and distinctive voice-practical,
provocative, scientific, and down-home philosophical in
equal measure-make FOLKS, THIS AIN'T NORMAL a must-read book.
