America’s average farmer is sixty years old. When young people can’t get in, old people can’t get out. Approaching a watershed moment, our culture desperately needs a generational transfer of millions of farm acres facing abandonment, development, or amalgamation into ever-larger holdings. Based on his decades of experience with interns and multigenerational partnerships at Polyface Farm, farmer and author Joel Salatin digs deep into the problems and solutions surrounding this land and knowledge-transfer crisis. This book empowers aspiring young farmers, midlife farmers, and nonfarming landlords to build regenerative, profitable agricultural enterprises.

A Must-read Book for Anyone thinking of starting a Farm Internship
5 out of 5 stars
JD5 months agoVerified buyer
Starting a farm internship is not for everyone! Do you have the patience to deal with a new batch every year? Do you have a teaching mindset? Are you willing to invest your mental, physical and emotional energy on interns — plus lots of your time? In this book, Joel Salatin breaks it all down in a very readable way. He gives you all the pros and cons of internships and helps you to objectively look at the subject. He also outlines the blessings that come from training the next generation of farmers. Highly recommended! I wouldn’t think of starting an internship without first reading this book!
