What would you do with half a billion views?

A few years ago, Joel dropped me (John) an email. It was a forward/reply to another email from someone I hadn't heard of before... some fellow by the name of Dr. Eric Berg.
He wanted to understand more about why real food was so hard to get, why the government and others made such an effort to make it hard to get, and why folks trying to get real food from farmers faced worse treatment than felons in many parts of the country...
So we talked. He had Joel and me on his show a number of times.
And what stood out to me most?
Here was someone who really, truly cared about what was happening to the people of this nation - it's lands and waterways, it farmers and animals, and its people.
Over the past few years, Dr. Berg has became one of the most influential voices online for health, real food, and food freedom. Currently, his content receives close to a staggering half a billion views... every month.
Dr. Berg reaches more people in a week than many of us wish we could in a life time - and we are grateful that not only he is using his reach to help farmers and health and food freedom, but he has agreed to come keynote our Fall Rogue event, back at Polyface. Dr. Berg will give one talk before lunch, and then Joel and I are looking forward to an extended sit down discussion with him about the health, food, and farm freedom and more after lunch on Friday.
He will be joined by NFL Superbowl champion turned farmer and then successful food freedom legislature from Indiana, Hunter Smith, Joel, John, and many others (you can see full event lineup here).
We are switching this event up a bit from the previous few Rogues, including four meals, one of which will be a Friday night bonfire hotdog shindig at the farm.
This will give attendees more time on the farm, more time to fellowship, more time to talk, learn, explore, relax and more... and maybe a chance to join a long standing volleyball grudge match between John and Daniel Salatin.
Use code Rogue30 for a limited time, early bird discount on regular event tickets.
PS... we also have a limited number of VIP Tickets available... these include something extra special along with the usual Thursday evening VIP Dinner at Polyface... a Thursday morning, wagon tour with Joel, the other VIPS, and the speakers. If you enjoy the Polyface wagon tour, but wish it wasn't so crowded, this is a special opportunity to spend a couple hours learning first hand from Joel and seeing Polyface including it's recent expansion and improvements.
