FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (RFD News) — What started as a retirement project has grown into a family destination for berry lovers across northwest Arkansas.
Les and Kathy Dozier own Sta-N-Step Blueberry Farm, where visitors can pick blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries throughout the growing season.
The couple purchased the property more than 30 years ago and have expanded it into a popular U-pick destination.
Dozier says the farm also gives visitors a chance to learn where their food comes from, helping connect children and families with agriculture.
