Through Rabbit Ridge Farms, owners Alan and Angela Mahan have set out to create community through food and agriculture. Their passions for being good stewards of the land, consuming locally sourced animal protein, and building relationships have converged to create a farm-to-table experience like no other.   

Spanning more than 200 acres in Rabbit Ridge, Arkansas, Rabbit Ridge Farms is a family farm that encourages visitors, something Alan admits is unconventional for most farmers.  

“Traditionally, we farmers don’t like people on our place,” he said. “But we knew that if we didn’t do that, people would never know about us, how we live, how we raise our animals, and the radical transparency that we provide with our farm.” 

The Mahans have found that people connect with Rabbit Ridge Farms for different reasons. Some customers want meat sourced only from animals they know have been treated humanely. Others choose Rabbit Ridge Farms’ products because they want to support local farmers and establish a relationship with the people who are producing their food. No matter the reason, it all comes down to trust and transparency.
