Editing Polyface Farm (section)

Polyface Farm was featured in the book ''[[The Omnivore's Dilemma]]'' by [[Michael Pollan]] as exemplary [[sustainable agriculture]], contrasting Polyface Farm favorably to [[factory farming]]. An excerpt of the book was published in the May/June 2006 issue of ''[[Mother Jones magazine|Mother Jones]]''. Pollan's book describes Polyface Farm's method of sustainable agriculture as being built on the efficiencies that come from mimicking relationships found in nature and layering one farm enterprise over another on the same base of land. In effect, Joel is farming in time as well as in space—in four dimensions rather than three. He calls this intricate layering "stacking" and points out that "it is exactly the model God used in building nature." "The idea is not to slavishly imitate nature, but to model a natural ecosystem in all its diversity and interdependence, one where all the species "fully express their physiological distinctiveness."<ref>Michael Pollan. Omnivore's Dilemma</ref>
