Polyface Farm, Ecological farm in Swoope, Virginia
The 500-acre farm operates a rotational grazing system where cattle, chickens, pigs, turkeys, and rabbits contribute to natural land management cycles.
Joel Salatin established Polyface Farm in 1961, implementing unconventional farming methods focused on environmental sustainability and direct consumer relationships.
The farm maintains an open-door policy that allows visitors to observe agricultural practices without restrictions, promoting complete transparency in food production.
Customers can purchase grass-fed meats and fresh eggs directly from the farm store or through local pickup locations across Virginia.
The farm uses portable field shelters for chickens, moving them daily to fresh grass sections that create natural fertilization patterns.
