Two entrepreneurial couples, passionate about both good food and self-reliant living, have built a strong presence at events and festivals around Arkansas selling their signature kettle corn and pork rinds. Their booths, always bustling with activity, have become a favorite stop for visitors craving fresh, flavorful snacks made with care. Beyond their love for food, both couples share a deep commitment to homesteading and sustainable living. Now, they’re channeling that passion into hosting their own Homestead Conference — an event designed to bring together like-minded individuals eager to learn about gardening, food preservation, livestock, and traditional skills. With hands-on workshops, expert speakers, and of course, plenty of kettle corn and pork rinds, the conference promises to be a unique blend of education, community, and down-home flavor.
Meet your hosts!
