Joel Salatin.
Some of ya are familiar with this man and his work. His attitude
towards farming also works small scale, as in gardening.

“We should at least be asking, Is there a righteous way to farm and an
unrighteous way to farm? ... The first goal is to at least get people
to appreciate that how we farm is a moral question,” he says. “Once
you get to that point, then you can actually discuss: What is a moral
farm? What is a moral way to raise a chicken?”
