ALMA, Ark. (Arkansas Farm Bureau) — An Arkansas farm was recently filled with the sound of children’s laughter as hundreds of kids showed up to pick strawberries.
Each spring, students from across Crawford County visit Arnold Family Farm for an annual event that organizers say offers both a fun day outdoors and a lesson in where food comes from.
Arnold Family Farm is a 120-acre operation owned by Randy and Vicki Arnold. The farm specializes in u-pick strawberries and has been operating since 1990.
Randy Arnold says the lessons shared during the event can stick with kids for a lifetime: “We want the younger generation to know where their food comes from, how it’s grown. So they’ll have a respect for food and farmers.”
Growers say getting kids into the fields at an early age is about more than just a good time. It is also an investment in the next generation of consumers and farmers.

A spicy sauce made with chili sauce and crushed red pepper flakes gives these Spicy Beef Back Ribs amazing flavor.
The key to success when cooking ribs is the low temperature and several hours of cooking time. However, this beef primal cut also contains popular tender, juicy cuts of meat like Ribeye Roast and Ribeye Steaks.
The Round Primal is home to lean, inexpensive cuts from the rump and hind legs. The muscles in this area are used for movement, so the beef is leaner and less tender. These cuts are often sold as roasts, steaks for marinating, or even Ground Beef.
One skillet, five ingredients and a few minutes are all you need to get this spiced up hash on the table!
