He has risen to stardom since Michael Pollan featured his Polyface Farm in his book, The Omnivore’s Dilemma. Salatin is a sought-after speaker who addresses a wide range of issues about food, farming and politics. His humorous and conviction-based speeches are akin to theatrical performances, often receiving standing ovations. He will help us learn more about what is being done around the country to grow more food locally and in greater variety, and how Rogue Valley citizens can increase their consumption of locally-grown products.Salatin will speak at the North Medford High School Auditorium, at 1900 N. Keene Way Drive, on Friday, February 19, at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 each and are available online at www.jclac.org.His appearance is co-sponsored by the Ashland Food Co-op and the Jackson County Local Action Colition [www.jclac.org].
