This is a re-release of an interview I conducted in 2021 with 4th generation maverick farmer Will Harris of White Oak Pastures in Bluffton, Georgia. If you have only 5 minutes, the first five should be the foundation of how you think about our food and food systems.
I reached out to Will to talk initially because he had written an open letter to Bill Gates in response to his investment in American farmland without directly stating his intentions.
While we refer to that, the most inspiring part is how Will looks at the opportunity to regenerate his land and convert his farm from a factory farm after generations of that tradition.
