Mobile slaughter and on-farm processing services have become an increasingly important part of the local food system. These mobile units bring the processing facility directly to the farm, reducing stress on animals and allowing smaller farms to sell inspected meat directly to consumers.

Arkansas has a strong tradition of self-sufficient rural living. The state has a healthy network of small family farms, custom butchers, and locker plants that serve both farmers and consumers who want farm-direct beef, pork, and chicken.
