My Latest Project

Regenerative agricultural icon Will Harris III had six generations of knowledge to share about how to farm the right way for the land, the animals, and rural America.

The problem was that it was all in his head.

Determined to capture Harris’ fierce truth, depth of passion and helluva sense of humor, I helped this farming legend deliver a legacy project that would inspire a new generation to get to know their farmers, celebrate radical traditional methods of production, and give a damn about breaking our dependence on obscenely cheap and boringly consistent food. The result, an eminently readable manifesto called A Bold Return to Giving a Damn: One Farm, Six Generations, and the Future of Food is published from Viking Press.

What People Are Saying About It

“If I could have one wish it is that every eater in America would read this book. Smart, funny and compulsively readable, it explains everything you need to know about why our food is so bad and what we can do to fix it.”

—Ruth Reichl, Food Guru

“A profane and brilliant thinker who regards stewardship as a sacred commitment, Will Harris is the farmer we need to lead our nation out of an agribusiness wasteland, toward a greener paddock. His voice rings loud and true here, a bullhorn in the face of bullshit.”

—John T Edge, founding director of The Southern Foodways Alliance

“This is a story that needed telling and there’s no one better to tell it than Will Harris himself. It is a heart-stopping indictment of what our food system has become – by one who helped create it – and the stunning possibilities that opened up when he renounced it for a different way of raising food that has revitalized his land, its people and their local economy, and inspired thousands.”

—Allan Savory, founder of the Savory Institute

“The story of White Oak Pastures and the Harris family stands as an inspiration to anyone interested in regenerative farming, a cleaner environment and natural food. Will Harris' story provides a vision for a nation dotted with prosperous farms supporting generations of healthy citizens. Read and be inspired!”

—Sally Fallon Morell, President of The Weston A. Price Foundation

 

This book makes you believe in the good in the world again and want to pick up a shovel and do your part.

— Leah Garces, president of Mercy for Animals
