The quarantine may have put a damper on pick-your-own strawberries but Arkansas’ farmers have created a socially-distant solution. As a work-around, some farms are now providing drive-thru services instead. These three farms are just some of the ones offering drive-thrus. Be sure to check with your favorite local farm to see if they’re doing it too!

Normally, Arkansans would be packing the family into the car and heading to pick-your-own berry farms about now.

Arkansas strawberry season is a sweet time indeed! Late March through April is the prime time for strawberries, with blueberries ripening next. Many farms around the state offer pick-your-own strawberries but this year some improvisation is in order.
We may not be able to flock the fields but farmers have created another way to enjoy the fresh fruits of their labor.
