The man in the picture is named Matt Plitch, Neutral founder. His start-up company is devoted to what it means to eat neutral. I met him at a Beaverton New Seasons near me. There I was in the final lap of Thanksgiving dinner shopping and he stood behind a table of cookies. Hmmm, new cookies? […]
POLYFACE FARMS LUXURY VS FIVE DIAMOND ULTIMATE LUXURY
December 29, 2017 by
Everyone on this side of the hermit life has seen a county fair cow barn, a state fair pig parade, and a showcase of caged chickens. Keeping them all penned up seemed harsh until I saw a picture of industrial meat production. Next cow up, chicken herder.
TREATING CANCER WITH A POLYFACE FARMS MODALITY
June 27, 2017 by
Treating cancer like Polyface Farms. The best results save the land and the person. Machiavelli said the end justifies the means. But only if the end shares a happy ending? A happy ending in cancer is a cured patient. I’m not looking for a ‘successful surgery but lost the patient’ deal.

September 12, 2016 by
In a hook for the ages, Joel Salatin drives his tractor right to the heart of health and nutrition. “If you think organic food is expensive, have you priced cancer lately?” He could have asked if you have priced heart disease, or diabetes, too.
