Today (and everyday) should be World Water Day. Before transitioning our farm to regenerative land management, our soil had less than one half of one percent organic matter in the soil. Today, our soil has over five percent organic matter, all credit due to grazing ruminants. Organic matter in the soil is important for many reasons, but one of those reasons is erosion. Soil with one percent of organic matter can absorb a one inch rain event. Many Southeastern USA rain storms exceed one inch, which allows runoff and soil erosion to occur. Happy World Water Day from all of us at White Oak Pastures!

About us
White Oak Pastures is a six generation family farm in the rural town of Bluffton, Georgia. We practice what we call radically traditional farming. Every day, we butcher meat from animals raised in a regenerative manner using humane animal management practices. This is no easy task, but it is our passion. To operate our vertically integrated, zero-waste model, it takes 165+ caring people working together to accomplish a common goal: taking care of our land, our livestock, and our rural community.

Will Harris' mother, Eloise Harris, loved to eat rabbit - in fact, she always called it "fence row candy!" We are grateful to have rabbit impact on our pastures and rabbit meat on our plates. If you are interested in learning more about rabbit production, we hope you'll consider attending our Intro to Pastured Rabbits & Homestead Processing workshop coming up on March 29th. You can get the details & purchase tickets on our website: https://lnkd.in/eZFqqvwN

In light of JBS's recent release on ceasing their commitment of deforestation, we thought we'd share our commitment to plant MORE trees. Will Harris has planted over 1,000 trees every year over the past decade at White Oak Pastures. Not all of them lived, but every year the ones that didn't are replaced. We were grateful to have some help from the @treesforgraziers team to train our staff!
