One Hundred Thousand Beating Hearts

- Fourth generation cattleman, Will Harris, shares his evolution from industrial, commodity cowboy to sustainable, humane food producer. A growing group of consumers look at beef consumption as a terrible environmental and moral choice. Harris’s work in southwest Georgia shows how he produces healthy beef that regenerates his soils and allow the animals to express their natural instincts. The 150+ jobs he has created are breathing new life into a community left behind and forgotten due to, as Will says, the industrialization of agriculture.

The meat from this farm is incredible. We get monthly shipments from White Oak Pastures & it’s delicious. We stopped buying meat from any box stores. Once you eat this meat you taste the difference from real grass fed animals vs. everything else you’ll never go back. This farm also captures more carbon than it releases because of the microbes in the soil that they nurture through being a sustainable farm. This is the way farms are meant to be. The commercial farms are destroying their soil & this farm is improving their soil. For us this is the only way to eat healthy. You can literally taste the nutrients in the meat and since we’ve eaten this way our health has improved & we feel much better.
I wish we were buying like you are. I have a pound of their ground beef defrosting in the fridge now. Get it at publix. Costs 2x the price of publix brand. But I find that I eat smaller portions. I find it incredible that my body seems to know that I just ate enough nutrients and I don't need a second serving.
I get a similar feeling if not possibly the same from my local pasture raised meat vendor called Da Le Ranch in Southern California.
The story of White Oak pastures is inspiring, and it’s subsequent connection with the savory institute has inspired me to get involved with them. There is so many timeless lessons from nature itself the more we listen to them.
What a Blessing! Thank Your hard work ethics & Balance! Am GRATEFUL to see & know this organic place is REALLY for REAL!
Bless You ALL!❣️
Had to watch the end a few times. You're awesome
Protect this man, this farm and this way of producing naturally nutritious meat products while improving the land AT ALL COST.
Outstanding video, Will! Just got your book today, "A Bold Return to Giving a Damn." Into chapter 4 a little ways and really enjoying it. Great read and I'm learning a ton about a subject I knew absolutely nothing about previously. Thank you for what you do, Will!
I’ve been spreading words about your farm to every omnivore. Do you sell your calves to farms that are just as humane as you guys are?
We are not in the business of selling live animals.
Absolute legend, Will is a national treasure.
Will Harris is absolutely a national treasure! I wish every farmer would change over to this sort of sustainable farming. This is how we combat climate change and putting things back the way they are meant to be in nature. God Bless this man!
"As God intended" comes to mind. You realized the smallest things often overlooked have the greatest impact. Microbials, absolutely beautiful not to mention the Bald Eagles. ❤
Fantastic! Mr. Harris, I wish you weren't one in a million.
Will Harris is awesome- This video deserves to be on TH-cam trending. I learned so much from his podcast appearance on JRE as well! Keep up the work on TH-cam! I love learning this stuff
Easily the greatest TH-cam channel and its a damn shame you aren't at a million subscribers
Promoted in your social media feeds n make a video reel*❤
This video never gets old. Thank you, Will Harris, for all that you do.
Wow. Stumbled on this by mistake. This was deep. I love the transition that the farm made. I’m a vegetarian who appreciates all natural farming. Great work guys.

There is a movement to reteach all of us how to improve metabolic health and reverse #schizophrenia mental affective disorders, diabetes ,heart diseases, cancer and many other conditions related to collagen deficiencies and many more metabolic infirmities. If you should find it useful. Please share. Thx😇
I met Will in a Whole Foods in Tampa, many years ago~~~ he is the REAL deal!! Thank you Mr Harris
So much respect!!!🙌🏽
May the trend ever continue until the whole country is using such practices. Thank you for making the changes!
Man does this warm my heart!
What a legend 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you I have enjoyed White Oak grass fed beef many times.
Keep telling this story. It may take awhile but people will understand why this is the way. Big Ag will eventually run out of ways to stop this.
I hope you are right. However I believe that where there's monied interests there's undue influence on our politics and our communities
Your ahead of the curve & an inspiration Sir
I LOVE THIS MAN! My family has not been farming for about 4 generations but we just might be related as there were a lot of William Harris farmers in my family ancestry :) We go back to William Harris III in Essex, England whose sons immigrated here in the late 1600's. My generation has embraced regenerative agriculture and we only buy pastured meat from local/regional farmers. Fantastic that he was on Joe Rogan who influences all kinds of people :) Maybe there's hope for returning to a healthy food supply after all!
Amazing!! Thank you so much for what you do ♥️
Awesome operation
Well said! Tim Harris in northern TN
As a Floridian, 12 miles doesn’t seem that far.
White Oak is the best, I wish I could get into doing something like this, obviously not on that scale
I wish I would have met this man 30 years ago. Back when I could have done things a little different as I am a small rancher with a dozen head cow calf all natural farm. But I was born and raised in GA and my great grandpa plowed most of the south half of Snellville back when hwy 78 was a 2 lane gravel road and grand ma picked Cotten on her grandfather's farm every fall to help out > God bless you as they are few men in GA with that kind of courage and faith
Thanks for your comment:). My lovely hubby came from Newnan, GA. He was just born 1972, passed 2021. I think because soil isn’t healthy, so he wasn’t either. I wish he had been able to learn this stuff too. Our sweet 16 yo daughter(who grew up in metro Colorado) now wants to be a regenerative cattle farmer in the south. We’re moving to Texas in 2 days to start on that:). Blessings sir:).
Moving to Texas? Hopefully far, far away from the border. Prayers to you...
Holy cow. 26 bald eagles on the farm?! If that ain't a sign I don't know what is.
This is beautiful. I pray we continue to wake up as a nation and get back to our agricultural roots. God gave us everything we need. We dont need Big Ag
Anti-trust enforcement against big agriculture, and allowing ecological operations like this to flourish more, let alone rebuilding the ecosystems of the Great Plains are all part of the solution.
This is beautiful and inspiring.
Legend!
“I don’t think I have to feed the world. I have to feed my community”
This guy get’s it. Thinks super big and acts local. Hero!
Absolutely spot on attitude, and fair play taking the risk and making the change.
If countries are so hell bent on saving the planet they should take your (and ours, although ours is only on a tiny scale) farming business model, and give sustainable farming tax breaks. This way more farmers would naturally move over to a more environmentally friendly way of farming. Also the whole idea of shipping meat around the world is outdated and a system left over from the post world war 2 era.
So nowadays locally produced. And seasonal food should be taxed at a lower rate to encourage there use.
We can't blame the consumer, its the government that needs to change peoples food consumption.
Consumers have power...money talks. Power to the people in everyway. People are told to eat meat everyday. This is massive psychological programming from corporations who control mass media. People would be healthier to eat meat, say, 1x week. This means many more small family farms selling locally. The land would regenerate in its own time and animals would be healthier psychologically and physically, forming friendships and seeing their young grow beside them. Humans, land, animals, and insects would thrive. Imagine: this farmer and his daughters have...
If all farming was done this way then there would be enough to go around. Excellent
Frickin great!! Thanks!!
good job
Seen the statement. Subbed due to it now I need to find how to buy from you 😊
We ship directly to your door if you are in the continental US! Shop on our website www.whiteoakpastures.com
We think so much alike! I was just pointing out to my husband how much growing cover crops and letting the "weeds" go to seed over the years will build the microbs back up in the soil and our yard will look better than the others. Ours is lush and green and the yards around us are struggling. I don't think I am supposed to feed the world, but teaching people to feed themselves can go a long way to help. And I plan to share my extra produce with my neighborhood.
Each 1% increase in soil organic carbon sequesters around 8.5 tons of carbon per acre.
I wish all ag people would watch this video.❤
I’m absolutely in love with this gentleman.❤ And I appreciate you very much!!!
Thank you for taking the risk and making the change.
Brilliant and inspiring!
Subscribed! In Ontario Canada, unfortunately, but we've been fortunate to find excellent local farms nearby - dairies, beef farms & poultry farms, where all the chickens are free-ranging, eating bugs n' grubs 🐛 whenever possible. We have a lovely sheep farm down the road called Ewetopia ❤
Hats-off to *anyone* that can raise Guinea hens - the sound! Having them on rhe farm was like living in a WW2 airplane hanger! Replaced them with Muscovy ducks - they were just for tick control, though both Guinea's & Muscovies are apparently delicious!
Newbie tip: don't name anything if you're planning to eat it 😂 !
You are a true legend Sir.
I hope they are doing what you do here in Australia.
God bless you. Can I get your meat up in michigan
Yes! Shop on our website and have it shipped to your door. www.whiteoakpastures.com
Beautiful
I love what you're doing at White Oak Patures & I love that old southern accent.
I hope you know how special you are sir! You are a gift to your family and the community.
just the sound of this mans voice is inspiring, I wish all farms were ran like this. The pharmaceutical companies would lose a lot less business. Thank you Will Harris. I bought me a freezer and when it gets her I am going to place a order.
He sounds like my grandmother. She lived in Florida all her adult life but we had a farm just east of Will's. I remember going to 'work' with dad. Three year old me rode on the tractor with him. He'd gotten a degree in animal science from University of Florida and was taught just like Will and he hated row crop farming.
By the time he died he was one of the early pioneers of grass fed beef. My sister and her husband are now raising beef a lot more along the lines Will does.
Preach good Sir😊 people need to hear about regenerative farming!
Symbiosis ❤
Wow! Great film, well edited, arranged, and composed. Beautiful beautiful beautiful. Nice to finally learn about White Oak Farm’s magnificent inspiring shift!
Amen!!!
You figured out some of the ways of the Lord Blessings to You .
Learning how to stem the plagues .
Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
Leviticus 25:3 Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;
Leviticus 25:4 But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.
What the world needs 🎉. I hope it doesn't always fall on deaf ears. Likely Big Industry will control to the end of time as most citizens can hardly afford to eat & house & cloth themselves especially senior citizens.
What's great about what Will has accomplished, besides the ecological improvements, is that he has become independent from Wall Street and all the Big Corporations that industrial farmers/ranchers are dependent on.
I like it as long as it's voluntary and the gubment doesn't try to mandate people in that direction (or any direction). There should always be competition between systems.
How do you protect your livestock from the eagles and other predators?
Gives a person a lot to think about. Most of my meat is wild game…that’s eating the same corn, vegetation etc that’s being treated with who knows what. Bet the deer would even taste better down there!
Modern day Abraham. Except the pigs
It is heartening to see this since we know grazing is good for ecology, especially in the arid west. At the same time so many people remain insistent in eating bugs. I suppose they can eat what they wish.
I love this seen it so many times the Bald Eagles reveal elevates it too museum quality art

Wow👏🏻
We got old, eh, friend
This was one of the most profound movies I've watched in the last decade. When he says "I don't think I'm supposed to feed the world, I'm supposed to feed the community" I get massive goosebumps. So glad to find this again!
Question, though - I could swear I saw an older version (4 years ago?) where he briefly talked about the dark night of the soul deciding to drop the fertilizer. I wonder if that's been deliberately removed? Anyone remember that? Doesn't seem to be in this version.
Was it the rebel cowboy? He has another video by that name
Great Story, that's all I gotta say.....
The future is in the past.
Here after JRE
The TRUTH is the Best Lie.
Fantastic
Fantastic
happier until they march into the slaughter room. sad but true.
The animals are given freedom and live a happy life. They are in agreement and alignment with Will who is in agreement and alignment with them and their right to an enjoyable life surrounded by their families and friends.
Thank you, Mr Harris!!! Speaks a lot about a man’s character that can admit the wrongs of the past and makes the choices not to repeat them. Preach on! 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸
My youngest son, who lives in the Southern part of Georgia, sent us a gift of your meat a couple months ago. We absolutely love it! We have been on a quest to eat cleaner food with less to no additives and grass fed meat and poultry. He thought your meat would fit into what we are looking for. He was so right. Thank you for doing what you do.
