I am a nature lover and self-proclaimed foodie wrapped in one package. In my previous life, I was an Accountant, but numbers were boring and writing is the only thing that fuels my soul. So, I write because it's my freedom...it brings me joy. When I'm not writing dope articles for OnlyInYourState, I am writing and editing articles for my online blog on Medium.com. Or, when I get the chance, I am off on a trip with my family chasing waterfalls, or simply exploring the great outdoors. My mantra is to always find the best part of every day and bask in it.
One thing we love about Arkansas is that you have access to fresh produce no matter where you live. Even better, you might have a farm within 15 miles of your home. While farms are known for selling meats and produce, some have way more to offer. One such farm is Mountain Home Berry Farm near the Missouri border. This family-friendly farm in Arkansas has a petting zoo and playground for the kids, picnic areas, and a charming country store that the adults will love. Plus, there are u-pick berry weekends while the season lasts. Folks, I can go on and on about all the fun you’ll have at this charming farm…but you need to visit it for yourself.
A visit to Mountain Home Berry Farm in north-central Arkansas is an adventure. There's so much to do that you could easily spend the entire day here.

There is literally something for your entire family. The adults will enjoy the country store that sells homemade jams, honey, locally made goods, arts and crafts, and of course fresh meats and produce.

And speaking of animals, there will be lots of adorable barnyard friends waiting for you to pet them. Of course, the kids will especially love their new pals...
But the fun doesn't stop there. The farm host various festivals throughout the year including a berry festival, a fall festival, and a Christmas light show, just to name a few.
