About us
4 Rivers Smokehouse began with the launch of the “Barbecue Ministry” in 2004, when John hosted a cookout fundraiser to support a local family whose young daughter was battling cancer. This one event resulted in a passion for supporting local schools, churches, and charitable organizations, and a few years later, smoking thousands of pounds of meat out of a garage just wouldn’t cut it anymore. After trials, tribulations, and a whole lot of burnt ends, we finally flipped that “Hot Brisket Now” sign on in October of 2009. Within the first hour, a line had formed out the door…and then around the corner. Today, we have several locations across the state of Florida, with plans for continued expansion and more than 1,000 amazing folks on our 4 Rivers team. Most importantly, the Barbecue Ministry remains our foundation and focus, and will until the cows come home.

How can focusing on food systems improve the health and wellness of the next generation? On this week's #CelebrationsChatter, I had the pleasure of sitting down with John Rivers, founder of 4 Rivers Smokehouse and 4Roots Farm. John's journey from healthcare executive to restaurateur and philanthropist is truly inspiring. His faith-driven mission to combat food insecurity, improve health outcomes through diet, and educate the next generation about where their food comes from is making a real difference. What struck me most was how John has combined business acumen with a genuine desire to help others. His story is a powerful reminder that with perseverance and the right mindset, we can create successful enterprises that also have a positive impact on our communities. Listen to the full episode with the links in the comments below, and please #ShareItForward by leaving a review! How are you making a positive impact through your work? I'd love to hear your stories in the comments. #SocialEntrepreneurship #Sustainability #FoodSecurity #CommunityImpact #4Rivers #4RootsFarm #1800Flowers #Podcast
