Description

This week on The Farm Report, host Erin Fairbanks is on the line with Will Harris from White Oak Pastures. White Oak Pastures is a small family owned farm located in southwest Georgia where their cattle freely roam the certified organic, 1,000 acre farm and eat native Georgia grasses. The Harris family recently built an on-farm, zero waste production facility. The Harris family has raised cattle on this Georgia farm since 1866. For five generations, environmental sustainability and humane treatment of our animals have been among the core values of their family. Offering customers grassfed beef and other products that are local, artisan, sustainable, and humane, Will shares his thoughts on farming and White Oak Pastures responsibility to its consumer with Erin, plus an educated opinion on holiday turkeys. This program was brought to you by Edwards VA Ham.
