The Poarch Creek Indians are descendants of a segment of the original Creek Nation that once covered almost all of Alabama and Georgia and can trace its roots back to the Paleo-Indian period. Unlike many other tribes, the Poarch Creeks avoided removal from their Tribal lands and have lived together for almost 200 years in and around the reservation in Poarch, Alabama.

The Poarch Creek Indians' Perdido River Farm operations in Atmore, Alabama. It has become one of the largest cattle operations in the State. The Farm manages more than 700 head of cows and 35 bulls. We are conscientious about maintaining, protecting and preserving the land and work closely with the USDA’s NRCS Tribal Office to implement the best stewardship practices for the farm.

Perdido River Farms manages 2,900 acres of Tribal agricultural properties, consisting of permanent grasses for grazing, summer and winter annuals, hay lands and row crop land. Good conservation of Tribal lands through soil testing, proper fertilization and rotational grazing produces good-quality grazing forage and hay. 

Perdido River Farms builds on the Tribe’s rich history of working with the land and sharing with those around us. The beef is genuinely local every step of the way, delivering exceptional quality and flavor through farming methods that are healthier for the Tribe, their neighbors and the land.

The retail Store serves both retail and wholesale customers.

While visiting Atmore, visitors can stay at the Wind Creek Casino and Hotel and visit the Poarch Creek Indians Museum and Welcome Center. The Museum has a wonderful Gift Shop with handcrafted items and more.
