A broiler farm spanning just over 60 acres in northwestern Benton County sold recently for $5.3 million, marking a significant local agricultural transaction. The sale price breaks down to about $88,039 per acre.
The buyer is At Poultry LLC, a Bentonville-based company with a member involved in the poultry industry. This sizable purchase reflects ongoing investment interest in Benton County’s agricultural sector, which remains a key part of the region’s economy despite the rapid growth of retail and tech businesses.
Located amid farms and rural stretches north of Bentonville, the property likely includes poultry houses and related infrastructure given its classification as a broiler farm. These operations are central to poultry production in Northwest Arkansas, a region that supplies a large portion of the state’s chicken meat.
Though poultry farming in Benton County has long been overshadowed by Walmart’s corporate mammoth in downtown Bentonville, the sale underscores the continued viability and value of agriculture here. The county’s farmland prices have been steadily climbing as development pressure grows, but commercial poultry production remains a firm livelihood for many local families.
At Poultry LLC’s acquisition is notable not only for the price tag but also because such concentrated poultry farms require expertise in management to operate efficiently and meet environmental regulations. This area north of town has seen a mix of conservation efforts and farmland preservation debates accompany its development trends.
Recent property deals, like the $5.3 million broiler farm purchase, show investors weighing agriculture’s foothold alongside urban growth corridors in Benton County. The farm could also represent part of expanding poultry supply chains connected to processing facilities scattered throughout Northwest Arkansas.
The transaction emerged publicly through real estate activity tracked by Talk Business & Politics, a Little Rock-based business news site that keeps tabs on Arkansas economic movements, including those in Benton County. Northwest Arkansas residents interested in land use, farming futures, and regional economics should watch for how such sales affect development patterns on the edges of rapidly urbanizing areas.
