How One Georgia Farm Is Reviving Soil and Food Quality Naturally
Hi friends!
I have a brand new podcast episode live, and today I'm talking about something that is so close to my heart: Where our food actually comes from.
I'm joined by the incredible Jenni Harris, fifth-generation farmer and Director of Marketing at White Oak Pastures, a leading regenerative farm in Bluffton, Georgia. If you've ever stood in the grocery store aisle wondering what "regenerative" or "pasture-raised" actually means (and whether it's worth it), this episode is going to answer ALL of that for you.
Here's what we chat about:
- What regenerative agriculture actually means and why it goes beyond "sustainable"
- The three shifts (industrialized, commoditized, centralized) that changed farming for the worse and how White Oak Pastures is swinging the pendulum back
- Why animal welfare is about more than just being "cage-free" and what it really looks like to let animals express their instinctive behaviors
- How soil health connects directly to the nutrient density of your food
- Why White Oak Pastures gave up pesticides and chemical fertilizers and the wild story of how they started using them in the first place
- How grazing multiple species of livestock actually works as a natural alternative to chemicals
- The case for regional food systems and why your local farmer matters more than a big national brand
- How YOU can support regenerative farmers beyond just voting with your dollar
And so much more!!
This episode is a friendly reminder that eating well isn't just about macros and calories, it's also about knowing and trusting where your food comes from.
