Frequently asked questions
What's in season right now in Arkansas?
It changes week to week — the "at peak now" strip above reads today's date, so it never goes stale. For the classics: strawberries peak mid-April through mid-May; sweet corn peak mid-June through mid-July; apples peak early August through mid-September.
When does the market season start in Arkansas?
The first local crops (asparagus) show up around mid-March, and the boards fill from there.
Where can I go u-pick in Arkansas?
We chart timing, not farm listings — but the u-pick planner will tell you when any crop is worth the drive in Arkansas, and any search for "u-pick near me" works better once you know the week to aim for.
