Im very excited to share with you a new project Im involved with called Permaculture Chickens. Its an educational film about raising chickens in accordance with nature from hatching to the plate (and everything in between) and features the indomitable Joel Salatin and his Polyface Farm, among other influential voices in the chicken keeping community.
Of course raising chickens naturally and working with nature is right up my alley. When Justin Rhodes who is spearheading the project contacted me and asked me to help to promote the film and spread the word, I eagerly accepted.
This ambitious endeavor plans as an end result a professional quality feature film which will cover raising chickens in harmony with nature to provide your family a healthier lifestyle and the ability to raise your own flock for eggs (and meat, if you should so choose) for your family.
Heres a sneak peak at one of the topics which will be covered in the film:

| -Some of the winter management shots from the film- The film will largely be shot this spring and summer on location at various farms and backyard chicken coops on the East coast and ready for viewing in the fall. A Kickstarter campaign has been set up to fund the project, and this is where you come in. Please help this wonderful project come to fruition. It will benefit chicken keepers everywhere by raising awareness of the benefits of keeping a flock of chickens and hopefully help sway some of those areas that still dont allow backyard flocks to vote to change the laws, as well as encourage those who havent yet taken the plunge into backyard chicken keeping to consider it seriously.
The trailer for the film is amazing! Its top-notch and gives you the overall sense of what the film will entail.
