I think the burger would have been the way to go here, but I had the smoked chicken. It was very, very dry. I was disappointed because I was so excited to eat a pasture raised chicken. It seems to me they would fix it in a way where you could really taste the essence of how a properly raised chicken should taste. Bought a lot of stuff while we were in there. Cute little store lots of stuff in the freezer- wish they had chicken livers though. Seems to be that wouldn't take up much space. All the employees were very kind and helpful. read more

The All American Burger with Beef Tallow Fries was perfectly cooked. The beef is umami-rich and flavorful. Loved the fries, they're old school - hand cut and taste deliciously homemade. read more

If you look at the product reviews on their website, you will not find even a single 1-star review. This is because if you leave a 1-star review (on a product you purchased), they will hold your review hostage until you 'work with them' and 'cooperate with them', as they continue to waste your time (after they already wasted your money with their inedible meats). OTOH, all the 5-star reviews I've posted were immediately published under their products. Here's the fair truth about this company - - the chicken meats (both muscle and organs) are inedible and made me feel ill even after one bite. I knew it was coming as even the smell made me brace myself. - the beef organs are inedible as well - same as above. I threw the whole thing in the trash after I took one bite. - the beef muscle meats, however, are the best i've had in the past 2 years. I've been desperately searching for a new source for steak after Whole Foods Market took a huge nose dive for some reason. I tried US Wellness Meats, and 3 Amish delivery farms in PA, but everything I was trying would make me nauseous or unwell. So they must be doing one thing right at White Oak. However, because of their policy of censoring feedback they don't like, and eagerly posting reviews they do like, I'm now aware of how manipulative and dishonest they are. Trying to reason with them to stop withholding my reviews was an even further waste of time, as their director of marketing (Jenni Harris) feels very entitled to your prolonged time and effort. She believes it's her actual job to demand that I explain myself to her satisfaction, and to bicker with me and to imply that I'm lying (about products I paid for and had to throw out). Instead of trying to make the customer experience seamless, she thinks it's appropriate to command me to jump thru hoops because 'that's their process', instead of admitting how manipulative their whole biased review system is. Obviously when they make it THIS difficult to post a negative review, most reasonable people would rather not spend hours and days arguing with them, and then White Oak gets to withhold and silence all negative reviews, because the customer "didn't follow the process". Anyone who's dealt with bureaucracies knows the dynamic I'm describing. I know no company is perfect, but I'm going to try finding a meat supplier that doesn't make me nauseous - both physically and mentally. read more

What a cool place in the middle of nowhere South Georgia! We just spotted signs on the way to the beach. We are glad we stopped! They are very dog friendly. Very cool country store with some great meat and butter and such. We had lunch there food was good. Very nice folks there. We will definitely stop by the next time we are down that way! read more

We were in the area and stopped in for lunch. The salad I had was so fresh and crisp and the burger was also fantastic. As soon as we sat in the table there were two sweet pups hanging out that live in the farm. It was awesome to see Redmond Salt on all their tables. They have a a daily special but we were late for that. read more

First order of some New York Strips online. 10 steaks for $216. They arrived. Sadly cheap off-cuts and look more like thick pieces of bacon! Asked the question "why" to White Oak Pastures and was told that I didn't know what I was looking at... that's what a NY strip looks like. And I used to be a bed farmer! Beware... premium prices, cheap offcuts - arrogant, dismissive and poor customer service. read more

I've been ordering from White Oak for years and just recently put in a rather expensive order. I don't mind the expensive as their meats have always, in my opinion, been worth it. It's important to note that I both wet age my steaks and then cook them by sous vide which has always given me the most tender results even for a non-prime cut of meat. Not this time. Absolutely horrible. Tough like shoe leather! I'll never spend money again with them. read more

I started purchasing from White Oaks this year. Prices seemed reasonable and shipping was ok. Then, shipping rates went up. I started to notice some of the pork I was receiving was majority FAT. This last order I emailed White Oaks stating that again my pork chops were like 70% fat and that I could provide pictures this was Oct 23rd. Miranda replies back, yes please send pics. I do so right away. No response. I follow up again Oct 24th, Oct 29th. I get another response from a Mary Jo stating there conducting an "internal investigation" on this and would get back to me by end of day. NOTHING. If my pictures don't justify and you can't make things right, then you just lost customer. The WORST Customer service ever. ALL calls go to voicemail. SMH read more

White Oak Pastures has provided the absolute WORST customer service I've ever experienced in my LIFE. Avoid AT. ALL. COSTS. I've been harassed by several members of their team (Jacey Bagwell, Jenni Harris) I placed a large shipment, where I received a notification stating "items in this package" with everything I ordered listed, but only the perishables were delivered. I reached out, and Jacey informed me the package was separated, which was not communicated to me before, therefore I made plans and am out of town before I can collect the separated package before it arrives. Their email clearly states "items in this shipment" and "delivered" with every item in it, yet it was only partial. They refuse to fix this error on their end, and refuse ANY compensation. read more

This place is the real deal. I ate beef for the first time in 14 years. My children who had never tasted beef in their lives had steak. It was great (tenderloin). I grew up eating steak and roast beef and personally found this "tough" grass fed beef to be exactly what I wanted and nostalgic of my childhood in the 80's. I know too much about the food supply and factory farms to eat beef normally but what they sell here is safe and good to eat. My 3 children were enthralled with the entire town and the animals and the fact I said they could order anything on the menu. We also paid for the horse tour, farm tour and bought many items from the store. We stayed in their red oak house walking distance to the general store which was fun for the kids. read more

One of the most amazing places I ever visited. I recently spent four days on the farm and had most my meals here. While excellently cooked, most of the food served in the cafe was raised and processed right on the farm where the animals hadn't traveled more than a couple miles their whole lives. Being rather remote, with the nearest Walmart 50mi away, it was a luxury to have such amazing quality in what could be considered "the middle of nowhere." In the General store, you can shop for goods made across the street from ingredients acquired on farm and also for other Georgia handmade products. They have their meats for sale if you wanted to take home high quality grass fed and finished steaks or pasture raised pork sausage for a family member that want lucky enough to join you or to take down to cook on the beach as was the destination of many of the passing through customers. You can even take a tour and see where and how the animals you're eating are raised. A true farm-to-fork experience! If you get a chance to stay the night, they have cabins and full guest houses for nightly rental to enjoy where you can walk around and explore the uniqueness of a regenerative style ranch. All the people you meet will surely be as delightful and welcoming as the folks I interacted with. It's like stepping into a different world, lost in time! read more

Such a quaint little town that consists of friendly people and animals. We stayed the night here at their lodge and it was comfortable. We were surrounded by trees and forest. We met Mr. Will and one of his daughters who was our tour guide. She showed us around the area and is so informative. We went to see how they use the leather to make purses, backpacks, and items. They even make soaps and candles out of tallow! All natural and healthy. In the General Store, you can get burgers and fries. Shop for eggs, meats, chicken feet, liver, heart, dairy. It's a really tight knitted community. I would come back again. read more

One of the best "general stores" we have visited. This place featured farm raised products and Georgia produced products - everything from the standard candles and leather products to their own raised meat products. The staff was very friendly. You can order a meal and then eat it out back in the cutest little yard right amongst the ducks! I saw a sign that said Lodging too but I was already on the way out of their drive so I didn't get a chance to ask about it. So cute and so worth stopping in! read more

Purchased 2 sirloins at over $27/pound. Did our typical slow thaw, bring to room temp, Weber grill with charcoal to rare/medium rare. This was the worst piece of meat I have ever prepared in my life. It was tough, chewy and zero flavor. Wow, what a huge disappointment. When I queried the store via email, I was told I should have wet aged it (ie 21 days in refrigerator). At that price point, it should have already been aged. There was no warning on the freezer or by the staff before as to special instructions. Only glad I did not buy a freezer full and only got stung for $60. Buyer beware. Will be spreading the word. read more

Not worth the wait. My husband and I ordered burgers & were told it would be 30-40 minutes. An hour and 10 minutes later, our food arrived. The burgers were ok, fries were limp & the bun was cold. They are just not equipped to handle crowds. read more

I rely on this wonderful farm for grass-fed ground beef, available here in Atlanta at Publix or Kroger. Though I used to drive past on US 27 in SW GA, I learned of them through their representation on the campus of Emory University and have sought out their beef ever since. More important, the White Oak Pastures people and farm are representing, networking, and teaching more sustainable practices. Check them out, online, and in your store. read more

I made a purchase from white oak pastures it took so long to get notice that a label had been printed when I called I was told a snow storm that came three days after making my order held it up and they would get my order out early the next week so Thursday of the next I called back and ask about my order and was told they heard how I spoke to people the week before and I could expect it when I get it so I guess asking about what you paid is not what they can deal with also when it finally arrived cuts are extremely inconsistent and the steaks I received had a very old taste so in all honesty I received very expensive dog food but my dogs enjoyed it I could not recommend this place no quality no customer service read more

Worst mail order steaks I've ever had. Tough. Lacking in flavor. Customer service made zero apologies. Zero F's given. They said it was my fault because I didn't age the meat for 21 days. Same problem across the ribeyes and NY strip steaks. Fillets we're only possible. We even tried marinating it for at least 24 hours, but that made no difference. How they can stay in business with this poor quality of meat and lack of customer service is beyond me. Anytime I've had issues with any other mail order company, they have always stood behind their product 100%. read more

Hot Dawg we got a winner winner beef and patty Salad dinner. Take a chance and let your mouth dance! This place hit the spot like a wrecking ball on my tongue and uvula. Best of all it's fresh and not some chain atmosphere. Good lord Thank you for leading me here and blessing this food. Me and the wife had the burger salads. But I was stealing my kids fries they are crazy good. I did the Farmer salad with homemade blue cheese and the wife did Deep South hers she elected no egg. Get the egg you live only once. The desserts are lacking but I was very pleased all the way around. Thinking about breakfast at 4:45pm. I bet they throw down. read more

Although we have never been to their farm, we discovered them as we were looking for option during the pandemic. We have been ordering their pork, especially their ibérico selection, which is not available anywhere else in the USA (at least that we are aware of). This is some amazing ham, pork, bacon, Pancheta. They also have some awesome soaps. They have a regenerative agriculture approach to their farming. This means they respect both the animal and the land in such a way that you can taste in the meat and that will last for generations to come. Please keep up the great work. I know folks may be concerned about the price, but in the end we believe it is worth it. read more

We stopped by White Oak Pastures on the way to Panama. We've ordered some items online like beef liver and supplements. Nicely packaged and great quality. The brochures included tells their mission and I love what WOP stands for! We love companies that provides eco friendly and sustainable products. WOP is a beautiful place to visit! The inside of the store is adorable and rustic. Very well organized too! The employee/cashier was young and very sweet and knowledgeable about their products. There were clothing, leather hand bags, skin products, road snacks, and frozen meat for purchase. We ordered duck jerky, beef links, and honey sticks. My family loved the links but the jerky was salty they said. We'd love to visit again and stay the night. Do the tour and learn more about WOP. They have workshops and events as well. If you plan to visit this would be a nice place to take some cute photos! read more

This review is hard for me to write. I have wanted to visit this farm for about 4 years now since learning of its existence. So I booked the 2 bedroom, Pond House expecting my parents to come but they had to cancel last minute. Unfortunately, we missed the farm tour by an hour (they have a tour at 11 am on Saturday) and were unable to buy the horse rides (starting at 1.5 hrs and longer packages) not sure why, but we were told we could rent a golf cart so that would work out for us. Employee, Daniel, in the General Store was most helpful and gracious. He informed us we could enjoy some lunch in the dining room before he escorted us to our cabin and we did so. I ordered 2 hot dogs w/ sweet potato fries. Dogs were tasty but casing was so tough it made them chewy and fries soaked in oil. My husband had a burger on a salad & the pressed too-well cooked burger was rather tough. We were escorted to the Pond House. On the front porch there was lots of fishing tackle sitting on the high-top table and a plastic container with worms in them. A pile of life preserver jackets sat on the ground. There was no Wi-Fi but there was tv (which we found out doesn't get good reception!). We were horrified by the general appearance of the house. The stove top was smeared and cloudy; microwave oven was dirty, there was about 1/2 c. worth of dead mosquitoes in the standing lamp. The dust on the wooden blinds in every room, ceiling rafters/air register vents in the queen bedroom was really bad. I'm positive the windows had not been cleaned in months! Mosquitoes caked the screens on the windows. Honestly, how can one enjoy the view through the windows that are so dirty? Under the boathouse was two rocking chairs and swings were covered in cobwebs and dead bug specks. No cushions for the chairs. The row boat had 2 gallons of mucky water in it as well as the kayaks. Cigarette butts in the grill and trash in the fire pit. We put our bags in the car and go to see if they happened to have another unit available. We kindly engaged Daniel and another staffer and were told no other units available. I NICELY shared that we felt the accommodations were really not very clean and showed pictures I took. They offered to send a cleaning person back out to do another cleaning. We were fine with that solution and she offered us the use of a golf cart while we waited. We gratefully accepted. The real trouble started that night. After our golf cart ride around the town, I spent some time shopping in the store. I bought a leather computer case; long sleeve t-shirt, candle and a few food items. We next went into the dining room and sat down for dinner. In walks Will Harris w/ a bottle of wine in his hand and sees us, sits down at the next table over and says "You must be the Pond House people." I responded, "Yes." He then says "I heard you're not happy with your accommodations. You do realize this is a farm and not Disney World." Taken aback, I said "Yes, we know where we are and we don't expect a Disney experience. My husband responded "For $300.00 a night, we just expected a nicer situation." To which Will said "You can't get a room in the next town for under $300 a night." (which was total BS as we found out later looking online in the town of Blakley- $75 at the Days Inn). Then Will told us he's not used to people being disrespectful to the staff. What??? Neither my husband nor myself were ever rude, demanding or condemning of staff and in fact we were very agreeable to their offer to make things right. Apparently to Will, making any criticism is akin to being disrespectful. Will then said "You know I think I need to get out of the hospitality business. I don't make any money on that side of the business as the selling of products is where the money is at." They aren't making money on $200 and $300 a night accommodations, the food sales/alcohol sales that come along w/ staying there? Give me a break! We just sat at our table and ordered our food and drinks and every few minutes Will would engage us in conversation. I tried to smooth over Will's seething annoyance with us by mentioning my bucket list wish to visit his farm, the fact that we supported many small regenerative farmers near us in OR but there was always a jab at us every so often. Will summoned the chef over (he was interning from UC Berkeley) and introduced him to us and said to the young man, "Hopefully this couple won't have any issues with your cooking like they had with the accommodations." What kind of crap statement is that? As for our dinner it was ok. My tenderloin was good, my husband's Ribeye was tough. Before we left, Will got up and handed me a business card and said "Here is my card with my personal phone number on it. If you have any more problems, don't call the store and speak to the staff, call me." Yeah, I am going to call the owner who has spent the last 45 minutes berating us and treating us like ingrates! read more

If they WOP would only be able to provide their meats in VA! So the story is simple really, we moved to Marietta some years ago now and I went in to Harry's Whole Foods and they smartly had the normal beef providers, IPB, etc. next to white oak but they had the two separated by a clear piece of plexiglass. The two cuts that were next to each other in the case were ribeyes. One was fatty and typical but the other had a thin line of fat under the cap and almost no fat anywhere else. The cut is normally a little out of my price range, but I bought the WOP cut for my wife and I to try. I grilled it, no salt, no seasoning, just the beef. All I can say is I have never tasted beef like that, and while I don't consider myself an authority, I did cut meat for Publix for a few years and have seen all the mainstream meat providers and eaten them all as well. Fatty fatty fatty....this is due to grain. You can say/think what you want, but cows eat grass. My wife and I tasted and discussed and it was hard to put an adjective to, but perhaps "clean" is the right one. Either way, looks like we can score hamburger now and then at Publix here in Colonial Heights at least. If you have a chance to try the brand, do it. Cheers read more
