About Arkansas

Arkansas packs a lot of farm country into one state: the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains in the highlands, the Arkansas River Valley cutting between them, and the flat, black-soiled Delta spreading east. Each grows something different, and each has farms that want visitors. You can pick berries around Springdale in the morning, taste wine in Altus by afternoon, and sleep at a farm stay near Hot Springs that night: with forested hills, lakes, and river bottoms filling every windshield view between.

U-pick is where the state's agricultural habit shows most plainly. Strawberries and blueberries open the season in early summer; peaches follow; apples close it out. Northwest Arkansas holds a deep concentration of fruit farms, while the Arkansas River Valley has grown grapes for generations, long enough that its wineries feel less like a trend and more like an institution. Filling your own basket in an orchard row is the simplest way in, and families and food-obsessed travelers alike keep coming back for it.

The rest of the menu runs deeper. Craft breweries on working farms pour beer a few steps from the fields, sometimes made with what those fields grow. Farm stays put you inside the daily routine (animals fed, meals cooked from the property), at a pace the highlands seem built for. And a growing number of farms and vineyards host weddings, putting Ozark ridgelines and vineyard rows behind the ceremony instead of a rented ballroom wall.

Arkansas Agritourism Liability Law

Arkansas has an agritourism immunity statute (Arkansas Code § 2-11-101 et seq.) designed to protect agritourism professionals from liability for inherent risks associated with agritourism activities. Visitors should be aware of and assume these inherent risks when participating.

On-Farm Food Sales & Cottage Food

Farms often sell their own produce directly to consumers. For value-added products, Arkansas has cottage food laws that allow certain non-potentially hazardous foods to be prepared in home kitchens and sold directly to consumers, often at farm stands or farmers markets.

Winery and Brewery Licensing

On-farm wineries and craft breweries in Arkansas operate under specific state licensing regulations for production, tasting room operations, and direct sales. Visitors can typically expect to purchase and consume alcoholic beverages on-site in designated areas.

Pick-Your-Own Safety Protocols

When engaging in U-pick activities, visitors should follow all farm-specific safety instructions, wear appropriate footwear, and be mindful of uneven terrain, farm equipment, and natural elements to ensure a safe experience.

Farm Wedding Venue Zoning

Establishing a farm as a wedding or event venue often requires adherence to local zoning ordinances and obtaining specific permits, which can vary significantly by county and municipality, impacting the scope of services offered.

Confirm current requirements with the state agency before your trip. Rules and fees change every season.

  • Arkansas Agritourism Inherent Risk

  1. 01

    Define Your Agritourism Interests

    Decide what the trip is for (a bucket of U-pick fruit, a wine-country afternoon, a farm stay, or an event), since each points you toward a different corner of the state.

  2. 02

    Select a Season and Region

    Match the calendar to the crop: summer for berries and peaches, fall for apples, pumpkins, and grape harvest. Then pick the Arkansas region that does that season best.

  3. 03

    Research Specific Farms and Venues

    Use online directories and state tourism resources to find farms, wineries, breweries, or farm stays that fit, paying attention to what each actually offers and where it sits on the map.

  4. 04

    Verify Operating Hours and Make Reservations

    Always confirm current hours and availability before you drive out, and reserve ahead for tours, tastings, and overnight stays, farm schedules follow the weather, not a posted routine.

  5. 05

    Prepare for Your Visit

    Wear clothes and shoes that can take a dirt field, carry some cash for the farm stand, and check each farm's rules on pets and outside food before you arrive.

01What types of agritourism experiences are available in Arkansas?
The full spread: U-pick fruit and vegetable farms, vineyard and winery tours with tastings, craft breweries on working farms, quiet farm stays, and farm venues for weddings and events. Berry picking and educational farm tours are the most common entry points.
02When is the best time to visit for U-pick opportunities?
The season opens in late spring with strawberries and blueberries, rolls through summer with peaches and blackberries, and finishes in fall with apples and pumpkins. Exact timing depends on the crop and the year's weather, so check with individual farms before you go.
03Can I bring my children to Arkansas farms and vineyards?
Most farms count on it: petting zoos, corn mazes, and hayrides are built for kids. Wineries and breweries may restrict certain areas or events by age, so verify their policies before visiting with children.
04Are farm stays available year-round in Arkansas?
Yes. Many farm stays operate through all four seasons, and the off-season has its own appeal: quieter mornings, farm chores to join, and rural downtime that doesn't depend on what's ripe. Picking is seasonal; the stay itself isn't.
05What kind of produce can I expect to pick in Arkansas?
Strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, peaches, apples, and pumpkins are the mainstays, along with seasonal vegetables at some farms. What's actually in the field depends on the farm and the week, so call ahead if you have your heart set on one crop.
06Do I need reservations for farm visits or tastings at wineries/breweries?
Most U-pick farms take walk-ins during operating hours, though a check of the website or a quick call is wise for groups or peak weekends. Vineyard tours, brewery tastings, farm-to-table dinners, and farm stays usually want, or require, a reservation.
