We want to welcome Will Harris to the Co-Movement Gym Podcast. Will is a fourth-generation cattleman, who tends the same land that his great-grandfather settled in 1866. Born and raised at White Oak Pastures, in Bluffton GA, Will left home to attend the University of Georgia's School of Agriculture, where he was trained in the industrial farming methods that had taken hold after World War II. Will graduated in 1976 and returned to Bluffton where he and his father continued to raise cattle using pesticides, herbicides, hormones, and antibiotics. They also fed their herd a high-carbohydrate diet of corn and soy.
These tools did a fantastic job of taking the cost out of the system, but in the mid-1990s Will became disenchanted with the excesses of these industrialized methods. They had created a monoculture for their cattle, and, as Will says, "nature abhors a monoculture." In 1995, Will made the audacious decision to return to the farming methods his great-grandfather had used 130 years before.
Since Will has successfully implemented these changes, he has been recognized all over the world as a leader in humane animal husbandry and environmental sustainability. Will is the immediate past President of the Board of Directors of Georgia Organics, He is the Beef Director of the American Grassfed Association and was selected 2011 Business Person of the year for Georgia by the Small Business Administration. White Oak Pastures has been highlighted on NBC news, Forbes, CNN, The New York Times, Good Morning America and has been mentioned many times on the Joe Rogan Podcast. Their products are sold online through their website and at Whole Foods.
I personally visited White Oak Pastures in February and toured the 3000 acre farm, I had two amazing home cooked meals at their general store, and engaged in a warm conversation with Will’s daughter Jenni. This farm has a remarkable story, one I am very excited to dive into on todays podcast with Owner Will Harris.
