White Oak Pastures is a 160-year-old, zero-waste, regenerative farm that raises 10 species of animals living in symbiotic relationships with each other and the land. Starting in 1995, the farm transitioned away from industrial agriculture techniques and began operating their farm as a living ecosystem.  As a brand, White Oak has been a pioneer in American grass-fed beef production, selling both Publix and Whole Foods their first domestic-supplied grass-fed beef over a decade ago. Today, White Oak operates a myriad of businesses at their home ranch in Bluffton, Georgia with a team of 160 people and their products are sought out by customers in 48 of the 50 states. In this episode, Will shares his journey from industrial cattleman to regenerative innovator, Jenni details how the business has shifted from grocery to e-commerce, and both of our guests share their story with their trademark transparency, humility, and Southern charm.

My guest today is Jason Sutton, Director of Instruction at Colleton River in Bluffton, South Carolina. Jason is one of the top coaches in the game, working with elite amateurs, college players, and professionals across many different tours. A Golf Digest Top 100 coach and the recent recipient of the PGA Carolinas Section's Top Golf Professional award, Jason's expertise speaks for itself.This episode is packed with practical insights. Jason starts with a detailed discussion on putting, providing actionable advice for club golfers to not just improve their strokes, but to create a focus on development of other putting skills like green reading and speed judgement. We also explore how students can maximize lessons by asking the right questions and fostering a collaborative learning environment. From there, Jason shares his philosophy on chipping, analyzes the short games of two of his tour players, and walks us through their full-swing actions—explaining not only what they worked on but also what he intentionally left unchanged. It becomes very evident that his clear focus is on helping players achieve their ball-flight goals and not changing aesthetics for self promotion. He relies on fusing his vast knowledge and experience while actively listening to his players to create their idea of success. Jason is not only one of my closest friends but also a mentor to me and many others in the golf world. His willingness to use his journey, including both triumphs and missteps, while giving feedback and advice is what makes him not only a great friend to many but a mentor aswell. His dedication to teaching and mentoring, paired with his growth mindset, inspires both his students and fellow coaches. His work on the Golf Guru Podcast has been a learning resource for countless people, including me.Jim Rohn once said “Your level of success will seldom exceed your level of personal development” and I can think of no finer example of that in our game than Jason. He is a man dedicated to his craft, who gives far more than he receives and who has earned the respect of the golf coaching world while doing it. If what Jim says is true then I have no doubt that Jason will become a familiar name to many more in the years to come.    Support the show

My First Visit to South Carolina - And It Was Gold   Have you had any whiskey from South Carolina? No? Me neith...wait, yes, yes I have! Well, that's a bit facetious - by the time this comes out, I will have tried High Wire's Jimmy Red, too, but let's say the Carolinas weren't on my shelf before these bottles showed up to try.    In this episode of the Whiskey Ring Podcast, we venture into uncharted territory as we explore the low country of South Carolina. My guest is Chris Crowe, the President of Burnt Church Distillery, located in Bluffton, South Carolina, near Hilton Head. Chris shares the fascinating story behind the distillery, its unique location, and the rich history and culture that influence their craft. The story of Burnt Church Distillery has nothing to do with a church burning (seriously, they've looked into it), but it's fair to say there's plenty of smoke and a fire to pay attention to. Burnt Church tells the stories of its town - Bluffton - and the people whose stories emanate from its own. Anita Pollitzer, George Palmer, and the eponymous Bluffton Whiskey, all embody a distillery that has already found its voice and one to watch.    They got their distilling start at Jeptha Creed, but soon they'll be fully transitioned to all in-house distillate (it was still their recipes and such, just contracted there). I think the whiskies right now are solid, but with a very high ceiling and room to grow. They've got some big names to live up to, and soon enough I think they will. In the meantime, try some Carolina Gold Rice whiskey - seriously, new flavor profile for me, and damn delicious.    Thanks everyone for listening, and thank you to Chris for entering the Whiskey Ring!   Thanks to our Presenting Sponsor, BAXUS Baxus is the world's leading collectible spirits marketplace, with user-friendly options for buyers, sellers, and collectors looking to vault their collections.

Will Harris is a fourth-generation cattleman, who tends the same land that his great-grandfather settled in 1866. Born and raised at White Oak Pastures, Will left home to attend the University of Georgia's School of Agriculture, where he was trained in the industrial farming methods that had taken hold after World War II. Will graduated in 1976 and returned to Bluffton where he and his father continued to raise cattle using pesticides, herbicides, hormones, and antibiotics. They also fed their herd a high-carbohydrate diet of corn and soy. In 1995, Will made the audacious decision to return to the farming methods his great-grandfather had used 130 years before. Since Will has successfully implemented these changes, he has been recognized all over the world as a leader in humane animal husbandry and environmental sustainability. https://whiteoakpastures.com/ https://www.instagram.com/whiteoakpastures/ https://www.facebook.com/whiteoakpastures  https://www.youtube.com/c/whiteoakpastures  Thanks to our sponsor: Nutritionwithconfidence.com

There are serious benefits to raising and processing your own cattle on your own ranch. Not only does it simplify the process of slaughter, but it also consolidates roles of ranching. This, and the benefit to consumers is how vertically integrated farming has a positive impact. Epic Gardening Shop Homepage: https://growepic.co/4e7sJMYBotanical Interests Shop Homepage:  https://growepic.co/3Mwh6mIBook Collection Page: https://growepic.co/3AR0LGYEG Homesteading Book:  https://growepic.co/4dXQ97kConnect With Will Harris:Will Harris is a fourth-generation cattleman, who tends the same land that his great-grandfather settled in 1866.

In regenerative animal husbandry, like Will Harris's White Oak Pastures, animals live according to their nature. This model is an expansion of the industrial one, where meeting basic needs is the only concern.

Soil health is just as important as animal health. That's because good soil provides the best possible sustenance for cattle. Additionally, animal impact has a positive effect, as manure attracts microbial organisms that give the soil life. Will managed to convert his previously industrial-farmed soil in just 5 years to a highly productive one. Epic Gardening Shop Homepage: https://growepic.co/4g8Fbh6Botanical Interests Shop Homepage: https://growepic.co/3XsaTi2Book Collection Page: https://growepic.co/3Z9vyslEG Homesteading Book:  https://growepic.co/3X70eYNConnect With Will Harris:Will Harris is a fourth-generation cattleman, who tends the same land that his great-grandfather settled in 1866.

Will Harris is a 4th generation rancher who has adapted his land to a regenerative agriculture system.

Born and raised at White Oak Pastures, Will left home to attend the University of Georgia's School of Agriculture, where he was trained in the industrial farming methods that had taken hold after World War II. Will graduated in 1976 and returned to Bluffton where he and his father continued to raise cattle using pesticides, herbicides, hormones, and antibiotics. In 1995, Will made the audacious decision to return to the farming methods his great-grandfather had used 130 years before. Since Will has successfully implemented these changes, he has been recognized all over the world as a leader in humane animal husbandry and environmental sustainability.   Connect with White Oak Pastures: Website: Visit White Oak Pastures Instagram: Follow on Instagram Facebook: Like on Facebook Will's Book: A Bold Return to Giving a Damn Don't miss out on this insightful discussion about the amazing transformation of White Oak Pastures!

In “How Pineywoods Cattle Bucks Big Beef,” Gravy producer Stephanie Burt takes listeners out to the rolling pastures of the South to meet Pineywoods cattle, a breed that's been grazing in the Southern region of the United States since the 1500s. The cow that some see as old fashioned is being considered in new ways when it comes to farming in the twenty-first century. Beef is big business in the U.S. In 2022, the country's beef consumption was the highest it's been since 2010, and the industry prizes big cows for efficient processing and big bottom lines. And this is despite the rise in what overall is termed “plant-based meat alternatives,” a response to the argument that raising cattle the way most American ranchers do, with mass production methods that don't take into account the health of the land, is a contributor to climate change. But not all cows are built the same, and one rare breed is gaining attention for its adaptability to the Southern environment. Pineywoods is well suited to the growing use of regenerative farming methods that are aiming to address beef-raising climate questions. It can positively impact a farm's ecosystem instead of harming it. Plus, it has an ability to withstand hot summers. And it tastes delicious.  In this episode, Burt talks to D. Phillip Sponenberg, professor of Pathology and Genetics in the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine at Virginia Tech, to find out what makes Pineywoods perfectly suited to the American South. She also introduces listeners to three cattle ranchers experienced with the breed: Cristiaan Steenkamp of BDA Farms in Uniontown, Alabama; Will Harris of White Oak Pastures in Bluffton, Georgia; and Mike Hansen of Ozark Akerz, a small farm in Coleridge, North Carolina. Together, they explain how Pineywoods contributes to the larger ecosystem of the South and how industry norms present barriers to its growth. Finally, chef Scott Peacock of Marion, Alabama, describes the distinctive flavor of Pineywoods beef on the plate. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
