Pawpaw Season
Although pawpaw is a native fruit to Arkansas (sometimes referred to as the “Arkansas banana”), most Arkansans haven't ever tasted one. They have an amazing tropical taste and are best enjoyed fresh right off the tree. Old Friend farms is lucky enough to have one of the biggest and best producing pawpaw patches in the area. Come down to the farm to learn about and sample this amazing native delicacy.
