Being a rural state with a robust agriculture sector and a long tradition of the family farm, many Arkansans find themselves right at home down on the farm. There are times, however, when you may want to connect with those roots without actually buying a farm or doing the grueling work of farming. There’s one place in the Natural State where you can have all the fun of the farm without sweating in the fields or crossing your fingers against a late frost. Let’s take a look at Dogwood Guest Farm, where you can hike alongside free-ranging goats and visit with a barn full of friendly farm animals. It’s an adventure you’ll never forget.
Welcome to Dogwood Hills Guest Farm, where you can have a farming experience with friendly animals set against the stunning natural beauty of the Ozarks.
The three bedroom, two bath farm cottage can be reserved with different packages that allow you to explore the farm and take part in the care of the animals. This stay is actually quite a lot of bang for your buck--the cottage can accommodate eight guests.
There are plenty of opportunities to explore natural beauty around the property, too. A lovely walk in the woods can always be improved by a small herd of free-ranging nibblers.
There are few beings on this plant more full of the joy of living than young goats. Whether they’re playing on park equipment, butting heads, or simply frolicking, goats are some of the most interesting farm animals a person can observe.
Honestly, though? There isn't a boring animal on the property. Even the people-friendly livestock guardians are full of personality.
You may find you’re in the right place to find lots and lots of new life—from new babies . . .
. . . to plants heavy with fruit, ripening in the sun.
And did you want to milk a cow, too? Great. Let’s head to the barn. You can definitely learn to milk there, as well as spending some time with very friendly and adorable mammals.
You can also buy farm goods onsite! What a wonderful way take home some Arkansas-grown goodness.
From fresh eggs to fresh produce, you're going to love what you find on the farm store shelves.
You might also want to follow them on Facebook to take part in their farm-fresh culinary adventures. There’s nothing like a plate of farm-to-table perfection.
In short, Dogwood Hills Guest Farm is the perfect place to slow down and get away from it all, and you’ll want to book your stay as soon as possible.
You can follow along with the farm on Facebook, or book your stay on Air BnB. You’re also going to love their website.
