Farm Heroes

The Dahlem fam­ily has been in the grape busi­ness for over a cen­tury.

My uncle Elzie kept his bee hives in amongst the wrecked cars and other metal debris behind his house on the High­way 160 out­side of Smack­over.

To Cen­tral Arkansas farm­ers mar­ket vis­i­tors, Bob Barn­hill of Barn­hill Orchards in Lonoke is a fix­ture, as is the diverse selec­tion of fruits, veg­eta­bles and nuts that is avail­able from the farm almost year-round.
