The Picture Perfect Arkansas Berry Farm You’ll Fall In Love With
Let’s say you didn’t have time to do much planting this year. Or maybe your thumb is black…or you’re just not that into spending the summer months weeding a row of tomatoes. Just because you can’t enjoy the fruits (and vegetables) of your labor all summer long doesn’t mean you can’t go out and pick your own fruit in a totally gorgeous setting. If you’re up for some berry picking this season, you definitely need to visit Cox Berry Farms. It’s picturesque, family friendly, and you get to take your produce with you when you leave.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures!

Cox Berry Farm has been around for more than 40 years.
It’s a little late in the season for strawberries, as they ripen in May, but the blueberries and blackberries ripen in June, and you can pick your own for $3.50 and $4 per quart, respectively.
If picking your own produce doesn’t actually sound super appealing to you, you can simply drive to the farm and buy berries while you enjoy the lovely Cox Berry Farm.
