Arkansas agritourism offers stress-free vacations with U-pick farms, winery tours, hay rides and pumpkin patches!
Farmers Market, North Little Rock
Urbanites seek an escape from the city within an easy, short drive; their countryside counterparts provide unique opportunities for exploration. In the Natural State, agritourism encompasses a wide variety of activities, including farmers’ markets, U-pick farms, farm tours, eco-tourism ventures and trail rides in Arkansas. Agritourism also refers to winery tours, hayrides, pumpkin patches – anything that generates extra business for farmers while promoting education and entertainment about Arkansas agriculture. For decades there’s been a farm-to-city flow, yet many people don’t understand how food is grown. Agritourism is a way to build a bridge between rural and urban Arkansas.
