Customer Reviews

Everyone should read this book!

My favorite aspect of this book is that it is a very conversational read. Joel Salatin is such an intelligent and charismatic person. I think book is a must read for anyone especially in today's world. It's an eye opener.

Really good insights

Really good insights. I came from a family who tried to do the right thing by the environment. We recycled, composted and shut off lights whenever we could. But I didnt realize all the things I took for granted and how much I didnt know that I didnt know! It reads like a nice afternoon conversation you have with your grandfather on the front porch. Quick read, changed my outlook on many things. Highly recommend!
