Jordan Green bio:
He attended Joel Salatin’s Polyface Farm as an apprentice from September 2001 through November 2002.
Upon leaving active military service in 2009, Jordan and his wife Laura started their own 200-acre sustainable farm in Edinburg, Virginia, and have been steadily growing it since then. They raise animals ethically, entirely on pasture and forest, and in harmony with nature. They currently offer pasture-raised poultry, forest-fed pork, and grass-fed and grass-finished beef. They also collaborate with local farms with the same philosophy to provide truly farm-fresh eggs, organically grown vegetables, and other farm foods.
Together with their three children, they work to bring healing to eroding farmland, steward the resources of their farm, and advance the cause of sustainable farming.

In Ep. 1, you get a taste of what early March looks like on the farm as we begin to transition from winter operations to spring. Green grass is not here yet but we are getting ready for it! Jordan & Laura Green started J & L Green Farm in 2009 after leaving jobs in the banking sector and the military. Prior to that in 2001-02, Jordan completed a successful apprenticeship at Polyface Farm under Joel Salatin. On their farm they raise grass finished beef, pastured poultry and forest raised hogs. The farm orients directly to retail and serves hundreds of families in the east coast area. With three kids and a handful of team members they seek to regeneratively farm their 200 acres and produce high quality, clean meats.
In Ep. 2, the spring season is beginning to hit its stride with a batch of chickens needing to go to pasture, piglets to load up, pigs to be caught, feed delivered, and that’s just before lunch!
Animals have been living and thriving outside for eons. The notion that we should only raise animals in barns is relatively new and only works with the use of massive amounts of fossil fuels. We don’t needs CAFO barns to feed the world, we just need to manage the animals better. https://www.facebook.com/farmbuilderjordan/videos/1196912687751857/
