INSPIRING NEWS: Rory Feek and Joel Salatin Unite for a Groundbreaking Blend of Music, Faith, and Sustainable Living
In Nashville, Tennessee, country singer and storyteller Rory Feek, 60, has taken his artistic and spiritual journey to an entirely new level. In a remarkable and unexpected collaboration, Rory has joined forces with world-renowned farmer, author, and speaker Joel Salatin to host a series of special gatherings that blend music, faith, and sustainability in one unforgettable experience.
These unique events—part concert, part community workshop—are unlike anything most fans have ever seen. Set against the peaceful backdrop of the Feek family farm in rural Tennessee, each gathering combines Rory’s heartfelt live performances with Joel’s powerful insights into homesteading, stewardship of the land, and the spiritual importance of living simply and responsibly.
The collaboration was born from a shared philosophy: that music and farming are both forms of storytelling, deeply rooted in creation, family, and gratitude. “What Rory does through song, I try to do through the soil,” Joel Salatin explained with a smile. “We both believe that faith and sustainability are not separate callings—they’re part of the same divine rhythm of life.”
For attendees, the events are nothing short of transformative. Fans describe being moved to tears as Rory’s familiar songs echo through the fields—hymns of hope and love intertwined with Joel’s passionate talks about working with, rather than against, the natural world. One participant shared, “It wasn’t just a concert. It was a reminder of how to live—how to love the land, your family, and the Creator who made it all.”
Rory’s decision to collaborate with Salatin reflects a growing chapter in his post-performance life. Since the passing of his wife Joey Feek in 2016, Rory has focused much of his energy on raising his daughter Indiana (Indy) Feek, tending his homestead, and creating spaces for community and reflection. These new events carry the same sincerity that fans have come to expect from him—faith-centered, family-oriented, and deeply authentic.
“Music and farming are both about connection,” Rory shared in a recent conversation. “When people come to the farm, I want them to feel grounded—not just in the soil beneath their feet, but in the spirit of what we’re doing here. Joel understands that better than anyone.”
Joel Salatin, often called “America’s most famous farmer,” is known for his pioneering work in sustainable agriculture and his books promoting regenerative, local farming. His appearance alongside a major country music figure has drawn national attention, bridging two worlds that rarely intersect: entertainment and ecological renewal. Together, the pair offer audiences not only inspiration but practical wisdom for modern living—discussions on soil health, food integrity, and community resilience, all wrapped in the warmth of song and faith.
The impact has been immediate. Videos from the gatherings have gone viral across social media, with hashtags like #RoryFeekFarm, #JoelSalatin, and #FaithAndSoil trending among fans, homesteaders, and music lovers alike. The response has been overwhelmingly positive, with many calling the collaboration “revolutionary” and “a fresh vision for what music and ministry can be.”
As Rory continues to expand his vision of storytelling beyond the stage, this partnership marks another chapter in his mission to live—and inspire others to live—a more meaningful, sustainable life. “These gatherings aren’t about fame,” he said. “They’re about faith, about family, and about rediscovering the beauty of the life God gave us.”
With upcoming dates expected to be announced soon, one thing is certain: Rory Feek and Joel Salatin’s collaboration has planted more than seeds in the soil—it has planted hope in the hearts of all who believe that harmony between faith, music, and the land is still possible.
