SHIRLEY, ARKANSAS (RFD NEWS) — Wade and Marlene Lucas have turned their farm into a featured stop on this year’s Arkansas Farm Trail, offering everything from fresh strawberries to homemade pies.
The couple moved from Florida and spent years building their operation into a place that now draws visitors from across the area.
Marlene says it is the people who keep them going: “Community is so important to me. It’s so good to get to see people. You become family with people, you get to know them, you get to know their children.”
Over the past 25 years, they’ve expanded the farm to 12 acres, turning it into a scenic spot for lunches, desserts, and fresh-picked produce.
The Arkansas Farm Trail Passport now features more than 35 stops across the state, highlighting agriculture, food, and local experiences.
“Where I come from, the Garys get it done. And when your septic tank blows, I do not believe AI will show, but I believe a guy will.”
