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.

Cox Berry Farm is located at 1081 State Highway 818, just north of Clarksville.

Cox Berry Farm has been around for more than 40 years.

The farm is owned and operated by the Cox family. They’ve been farming the land there for three generations.

The farm is set on Red Lick Mountain, which provides incredible views of the surrounding mountains.

You can pick your own blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries there.

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.

You’ll have a blast wandering around the gorgeous farm, exploring and picking beautiful berries.

You can also pick your own peaches in June and July, and their peach orchard is absolutely lovely.

If you’re not into berries or peaches, you can find just gobs and gobs of tomatoes there in the late summer months...

...or you can wait until fall to find apples and pumpkins.

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.
