we’re inspired by Joel Salatin’s innovative approach to farming as showcased in his tractor tour of Polyface Farm. Here’s how we align our practices with his principles while adding our unique touch:

Embracing Sustainable Farming: The Square Dance Farms Approach

At Square Dance Farms, our mission is to blend tradition with innovation in the pursuit of sustainable agriculture. Inspired by the dynamic practices of farms like Polyface, we’ve crafted our unique approach to farming that balances productivity with environmental stewardship.

A New Kind of Farming

Imagine a farm where mobility meets modularity. At Square Dance Farms, our chicken coops are designed to move, allowing us to rotate them across various plots. This practice not only keeps the land fertile but also enhances our ability to manage resources efficiently. It’s like having a farm that’s always on the move, adapting to the land as it changes.

Building on a Foundation of Flexibility

Our approach is all about modular design. Whether starting with a single coop or expanding to multiple units, we build our systems incrementally. This method reduces financial risk and lets us scale our operations sustainably. Just as Joel Salatin demonstrates, starting small and growing over time is a strategy we embrace wholeheartedly.

Hands-On Management and Carbon Farming

We’re deeply involved in every aspect of our farm, from soil health to animal care. Our commitment to management-intensive practices means that every day, our team is engaged in hands-on tasks that ensure the farm’s success. We also focus on carbon farming, creating rich, organic compost from farm waste. This not only improves soil health but also supports our goal of reducing carbon emissions.

Forests and Pastures: A Balanced Ecosystem

Our farm is a patchwork of pastures and forests, designed to mimic natural ecosystems. This integration promotes biodiversity and strengthens the farm’s resilience. By managing our land holistically, we support a thriving environment for both our plants and animals.

we’re proud of the sustainable practices we’ve adopted. They reflect our dedication to farming with integrity and purpose.
