Calling Arkansas direct-to-consumer farmers and ranchers! The Arkansas Farm Trail is back for another season, and expanding with more farms. Are you looking for a unique way to promote your local food business, increase sales and connect with consumers? The Arkansas Farm Trail is a passport program that brings consumers across the state directly to your farm.
By joining the program, you’ll be featured in ArFB’s Arkansas Farm Trail passport, which incentivizes Arkansans to visit farms and collect stamps to earn prizes. Our hope is that visitors will learn your farm’s story, purchase your products and learn firsthand where their food comes from.
ArFB’s Arkansas Farm Trail is focused on promoting the production of local foods such as fruits and vegetables, grains and meat/animal products. Value-added products such as jams, jellies and pickles are included as well.
Slots on the 2027 farm trail are limited and may be selected based on factors including regionality, product diversification and other factors.

Year one results of Shelf Life on Bahiagrass Stockpile.

We’re evaluating bahiagrass varieties to see if newer options can help extend fall grazing and improve stockpile “shelf life” in southwest Arkansas.

📍 SWREC – Hope, Arkansas

Key findings from Year 1:
✅ Bahiagrass stayed greener longer in the fall compared to bermudagrass
✅ Newer varieties did not clearly outperform traditional standards
✅ Stockpiled warm-season forage is best utilized before Thanksgiving

We evaluated:
• Pensacola bahiagrass
• UF Riata
• TifQuik bahiagrass
• Common bermudagrass

These results suggest that stockpiled bahiagrass can be a practical fall forage option, with all bahiagrass varieties showing promise for extending grazing opportunities.
