MCRAE, Ark. (RFD News) — What started with 13 head of cattle has grown into Homestead Hollow Farm, where Elvin and Gidgett Bradford raise livestock and operate a farm store.
After building a customer base through bulk and packaged beef sales, the Bradfords opened their storefront in 2025, offering products from their farm alongside items from other local producers.
Bradford said supporting fellow farms and helping consumers better understand where their food comes from are at the heart of the operation.
