The Association to Preserve Cape Cod is pleased to announce that Joel Salatin, America’s favorite self-described 
“environmentalist capitalist lunatic farmer,” is coming to Cape Cod. Salatin will be the featured guest speaker at 
APCC’s Annual Meeting on Wednesday October 7, 2009, 6:00 p.m., in the Tilden Performing Arts Center 
at Cape Cod Community College. 






This event is free to all APCC members; $20 for non-members. Please call 508-362-4226 or visit www.apcc.org 
to reserve (including APCC members) and/or purchase tickets as space is limited. 




Esteemed author of multiple books, including Everything I Want To Do Is Illegal, You Can Farm, Holy Cows and Hog Heaven, Pastured Poultry Profit$, and Family Friendly Farming, Salatin is profiled at length by Michael Pollan in The New York Times bestseller, The Omnivore’s Dilemma , and appears in the new film, Food, Inc. 




Salatin’'s humorous, yet conviction-based speeches employ a distinctive and downright fun theatricality appreciated by audience members and critics alike. He is known to inspire laughter, joy, rousing applause and standing ovations – all the while imparting a propitious, if sobering message about what many Americans may not realize about everyday foods consumed in this country. 




Salatin and his family’s farm, Polyface, Inc. have been featured in numerous national media outlets – radio, TV, film – and in print, Smithsonian Magazine , National Geographic, and Gourmet, to name but a few, sharing the farm’s mission: To develop emotionally, economically, environmentally enhancing agricultural enterprises and facilitate their duplication throughout the world , with like-minded folks across the country. He remains a passionate defender of small farms, local food systems, and the right to opt out of the conventional food paradigm. 




Following Salatin’s profile by Peter Jennings on the ABC World News series Lives of the 21 st Century , the farming activist’s after-broadcast chat room fielded more hits than any other segment to date.
