Episode Details

Welcome back to the Marian Flaxman Network Podcast. On today's episode, Marian visits White Oak Pastures in Bluffton, Georgia, and speaks with their owner and operator, Will Harris. Will is a 4th generation farmer, who spent many years farming industrially, before an "aha" moment caused him to change his entire operation. White Oak Pastures is now a fully integrated regenerative farm, growing and raising a wide variety of plants and animals, rebuilding soil carbon, and protecting waterways. In this conversation, Will speaks about his transition to regenerative practices, his passion for the topic, and why he thinks advocates (like himself) need to take a nuanced, gradual approach, rather than forcing everyone to change immediately. He and Marian also discuss the complexities of the current food landscape, the overlaps between the food system and healthcare system, and what the business world could learn from nature.
