Ep. 005 - Farm-to-School Marketing and Strawberries with Randy Arnold (9/22/2020)

In this episode we are joined by Randy Arnold, owner of Arnold Farms in Alma, AR. Randy and his family have operated a highly diverse farm for over 20 years and are well known in the area for their “strawberry patch” which is an integral part of the community. The Arnolds market their berries through their roadside farm market, to u-pick customers and through sales to local schools in farm-to-school programs. They also hold a yearly on-farm festival called “fun on the farm” that hosts 1,000 students from area schools who visit the farm and learn about agriculture.
