Agri Arkansas
Chris Hiryak, founder of Little Rock Urban Farming, discusses the farm in midtown Little Rock for the AETN Program Agri Arkansas.
Little Rock Urban Farming (LRUF) is a community based food enterprise located in the heart of Little Rock, Arkansas. We specialize in the production of organic fruits, vegetables, herbs and cut flowers for local markets. LRUF is dedicated to urban organic food production and the urban agrarian lifestyle.
In addition, LRUF is a new farmer incubator. Every year we accept 2 to 4 apprentices who come to learn about the production, marketing and distribution of organic fruits, flowers and vegetables.
Little Rock Urban Farming is proud to be a founding member of the Hillcrest Farmers Market. The market started in 2011 as a collaborative effort between local growers and artisans and the Pulaski Heights Baptist Church to promote a healthy, vibrant community in Hillcrest. The market continues to prosper and flourish, and we are excited about the future potential of the market to serve our community.
