Where Arkansas Comes to the Table

Food is never just food. It carries the land it came from, the hands that prepared it, and the stories passed down through every generation that knew how to feed a community. The Arkansas Folklife Festival Foodways program brings together the cooks, herbalists, distillers, and tradition bearers whose work connects us to the wild game traditions of the Ozarks, the herb gardens of the hill country, and the crops Delta families have tended for over a century.
