Here at Richland Creek Farm & Market, we are beyond excited to share that Arkansas Farm Bureau visited us to feature our farm in a recent video that dives into our Mayhaw orchard. The Mayhaw tree is a hidden gem that grows the unique mayhaw berries we’re so proud of in this part of the world and it showcases the process and passion behind our beloved mayhaw jelly.
For those who aren’t familiar with the mayhaw, it’s a small, tart berry that grows well in our southern Arkansas climate and makes the perfect ingredient for jellies and sauces. Mayhaw season is a much-anticipated time here at Richland Creek, and every year we look forward to sharing the fruits of our labor with our community. The Farm Bureau video captures the beauty of the orchard and highlights just what makes our mayhaw jelly so special.
In the video, Rhonda walks viewers through the orchard, pointing out the mayhaw trees we’ve nurtured over the years. She talks about the journey of growing these berries—from patiently waiting for the blooms to transform into vibrant red fruit to harvesting them at just the right time. Richland Creek pours love into every step, ensuring each batch of jelly is packed with the natural flavor of fresh mayhaw.
Our mayhaw jelly has become a staple for so many local families, and for good reason. Its sweet, slightly tangy taste is like nothing else, and it pairs beautifully with biscuits, cheese boards, and even as a glaze for meats. Seeing it all captured on film by Arkansas Farm Bureau feels like a big “thank you” to everyone who has supported us over the years.
If you haven’t yet had the chance to watch the video, we encourage you to do so. It’s a lovely tribute to Richland Creek, our team, and the mayhaw berries that bring us all together. And if you haven’t tasted our mayhaw jelly yet, try a jar for yourself. We can’t wait for you to experience this delicious piece of South Arkansas heritage.
I love seed time!!! It’s “hope springs eternal” with each new life.
