Farmers are Mothers Too
Last Friday I had the pleasure of touring three working farms in Bolivar Missouri, thanks to the Missouri Farm Bureau, who reached out to the Missouri Women Bloggers to set up a blogger tour. I have had several opportunities to learn about agriculture in Arkansas, but this was my first chance to get behind the scenes here in MO.

The story begins over at Only in Arkansas, where I have a post up all about the Arkansas River Trail. It’s a great place to ride with friends or family, whether you opt for the entire loop or just a small section. I’ve split the trail into four … Read entire article »
