Another has come your way! Join us in saying hello to Old River Farms out of Cabot, one of the newer farms we’ve partnered with for bacon and pork butts since August of 2025.
Johnny and Kirstin Moore started Old River Farms with a simple belief: Arkansas land should feed Arkansas people. After years spent working in ecological landscape design and studying regenerative agriculture in Colorado, they felt called back home to Arkansas to raise their family and start farming in a way that cares for both the land and the animals.
Their pigs are rotationally grazed through woods and pasture, helping restore the soil naturally while producing high quality pork raised with care. They focus on regional flavor, healthier soil, and food grown on a human scale instead of for mass production. Even down to the feed, they choose certified organic, non-GMO grains as part of their commitment to healthier farming practices.
One thing that really stuck with us was their belief that local food matters because it reconnects communities to the land around them. That’s exactly why The Root is proud to partner with someone like Old River Farms!
You can find Old River Farms at the West Little Rock Farmers Market on Saturdays from 8am - noon, online at oldriverfarms.com, here on Facebook at Old River Farms, or on Instagram at 🐖🌱
