Anons, I’ve searched for farms and ranches that fulfill requirements of healthy meats. I found a farm in GA that ships out grass-fed beef and Chicken, Pork, Lamb etc. But also is regenerative/organic: Thought it interesting the history and the owners appearance of Joe Rogan

Our Statement on mRNA Vaccines in Livestock. April 2023
Recently, we've gotten many questions about whether or not we will be administering mRNA vaccines to our livestock.
The short answer is Hell No.
There is talk about domesticated food animals soon being vaccinated with mRNA. We want our customers to know that we will not vaccinate our animals with mRNA vaccines . We believe there is a time and place for vaccinations, but they must be used sparingly. If livestock are raised in an environment where they can express their natural instincts, they probably won't need many (if any) vaccines. We hope to one day move away from all vaccines on our farm - we are close, but not there yet.
Whole Food Markets
I, Will Harris, personally sold Whole Foods Market the first pound of American Grassfed beef that Whole Foods Market ever marketed in their stores as American Grassfed Beef. This was almost 20 years ago-the timing just happened to be perfect, and the beef sold like hotcakes. Whole Foods Market soon put White Oak Pastures' Grassfed Beefinto the 60 or more stores that they operated: Over our 20+ year relationship, they sold our pastured turkey, chicken, eggs, pet chews, tallow soap, and leather products, in addition to our grassfed beef…….
Then Amazon bought Whole Foods Market, which began the cooling of our long-standing relationship.
Meat purchasing moved from the regional teams to the global team in Austin. In-store marketing was displaced and centralized, too. And, as of 12/31/22, White Oak Pastures' relationship with Whole Foods Market formally came to an end. The same Whole Foods Market that once embraced small, local agriculture is now focused on the same efficiencies that keep farmers from transitioning to regenerative systems…. But, we insist that their departure from the company that once celebrated local relationships to the corporation that eliminates them isn't done behind closed doors. If you shop at Whole Foods Market, you deserve to know the company they have now become if you haven't been able to tell already. My bet is that theWhole Foods Market product selectionwill be increasinglysimilar to what you can find at Walmart.
Some of you saw my appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience in November and might say my discussion with Joe on greenwashing warranted me getting kicked out of Whole Foods Market. I stand behind every word that I said, and anytime that question is asked, I'll say it again:Whole Foods is guilty of greenwashing.
