Bobby Chase and Sarah Butler were excited when their parents told them they were each going on a family vacation to a working farm. They looked forward to sharing stories about their experiences when they returned home. Much to their surprise, however, their accounts had little in common.
The Chases visited the Dogwood Hills Guest Farm in Harriet, Arkansas, which invites the public to “Stay with us and learn.” Among tasks that Bobby enjoyed were gathering freshly laid eggs, feeding animals, picking berries, and helping in the garden. His parents took classes in cooking, cheese- and pasta-making, quilting and other crafts.
