Agritourism Offers a Taste of Farm Living
Ed Martsolf, bespectacled and weathered with a thick peppery beard, works the scenic meadows of this mountain near Morrilton. The views are panoramic and the road seldom traveled.
One recent afternoon, Martsolf was pushing around a wheelbarrow near his barn. His niece was filling jars with honey, unbinding brochures and firing up PowerPoint. It was a quiet afternoon, and then....
A 40-foot tour bus rumbled up, with all the attendant squeaks, squeals and smells. It crunched the white gravel drive in front of Martsolf ’s shop, and dozens of tourists stepped onto his farm.
