Go Dawgs! Or, go pastured poultry and grass-fed
beef and lamb, as is the case for fourth-generation cattleman Will Harris and White Oak Pastures in Bluffton, Ga. White Oak
Pastures is one of this year's "Bulldog 100," an honor The University of Georgia (UGA) Alumni
Association awards annually to the 100 fastest-growing businesses owned or
operated by UGA alumni. Harris, a 1976 graduate of the UGA School of
Agriculture, took his sheepskin back to the farm his great-grandfather settled
in 1866. In 1995, he switched gears, shifting from industrial farming methods
to those followed by great-grandfather Harris. The rest is history as cattleman
and farm are frequently recognized for their commitment to humane animal
husbandry, environmental sustainability and locally produced food.
Additionally, Harris is the beef director of the American Grassfed Association
and the past president of the board of directors for Georgia Organics.
