Georgia Family Farm's All Natural Protocol Puts Grass Fed Beef in High Demand Among Atlanta Chefs and Diners. End Quote

Atlanta, GA (1888PressRelease) July 02, 2010 - White Oak Pastures Owner Will Harris is pleased to announce that Buckhead Beef, the premier "center of the plate" purveyor that specializes in portion control cut steaks, has increased its supply of local, all natural grass fed beef from Harris' cattle farm. Located in Bluffton, Georgia, White Oak Pastures is the largest certified organic farm in the state and is now supplying Buckhead Beef with additional quantities of lean ground beef, short ribs, roasts, steaks and stir fry. Due to this increased availability through Buckhead Beef, Atlanta restaurants now have greater access to White Oak Pastures' beloved grass fed beef products that are locally produced on Harris' 140-year-old family farm.

Harris is committed to the humane treatment of his cattle and allows them to roam freely as nature intended. As a result, the benefits of grass fed beef are numerous. In addition to a better taste, grass fed beef is higher in beta carotene, vitamin E, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and omega 3 fatty acids, which also makes the beef healthier than other conventional, natural or organic beef. Harris' cattle are not given any antibiotics or hormone implants and have a naturally alkaline rumen which minimizes the possibility of E.coli 0157:H7 contamination. These cattle thrive on a purely vegetarian diet that contains no animal byproducts to further enhance health and safety for those who eat it. The pasture based agriculture that Harris practices is among the most environmentally friendly of sustainable farming practices.
