Polyface or "the farm of many faces" is a local farming operation located in Swoope, Virginia. This farm utilizes a variety of environmentally friendly agricultural practices including free range animal living conditions and grass feeding. As I mentioned in a previous article, Polyface also incorporates several unconventional farming practices in the mix. Techniques such as "pigaerating" (see The Pigaerator!) keep their animals fat and happy. The Salatin family, the owners of Polyface, boast five guiding principles in their commitment to sustainable and environmentally friendly farming. They promise to adhere to transparency, grass-based feeding practices, individuality, community, nature's template, and last but not least, earthworms!
