Had the opportunity to chat with the awesome Tony and Linh of Beyond.ourgate on Instagram.

Tony and Linh have been working towards their dream of obtaining and developing a semi-off-grid bush block/homestead property for several years.

Find them on the gram, where Linh has done a great job, chronicling their journey from inner-city dwellers to passionate urban-homesteaders on Perth's outskirts.

A few of the many amazing facets of their block include many raised veggie beds, beehive area and a 100% natural, chlorine-free plunge pool, designed and installed by a Tony of Think green landscapes.

Hope you enjoy and don't forget to subscribe to herb on Apple pods and leave a review.

Stay Herby.

Episode #59 Herb your enthusiasm.
Today's guest is ex-JRE guest; Will Harris of Bluffton, Georgia in the states..
 
Will is a 4th generation cattle farmer and current owner of white oak pastures, which has been owned by his family since 1866.
 
Across it's long history, white oak pastures has gone through many iterations. 
Upon inheriting his farm as a young man, will operated the farm in alignment with an industrial model of farming, utilising tonnes of Petro-chemical fertiliser, heavy chemical spray regimes to control weeds and "problem organisms" as well as intensive feed-lot operations and heavy anti-biotic regimens for his livestock. 
 
As you'll hear in the podcast, a single brief but powerful moment in time one afternoon, lead him to reconsider the path he was going down with respect to the "kill and control" style of farming he had become accustomed to on the farm. 
following this personal realisation- at great financial expense, will began to transition away from a typical industrial model of farming and towards am ecological/regenerative model, and one that honoured and respected life in all its forms and the relationships between them.
 
20 years later and white oak pastures is now a world leader in profitable, sustainable farming and one of the few sustainable regenerative farms in his state.
the multiple 10's of inches of rich, dark top soil that white oaks has created since moving to a regenerative model is something to behold and instead of spending his time figuring out how to kill organisms, will now thinks about the best ways to keep things alive.
 
Enjoy this cracking pod with Will Harris!
