Step back in time when you visit historic Saint Joseph’s Center of Arkansas in North Little Rock. Only minutes from downtown Little Rock you will feel as if you have traveled far into the peaceful Arkansas countryside when you enter our sixty-seven acres.
Drive up through a lovely brick arch that marks the entrance to the historic property and veer right towards the Farm Stand where we will meet everyone. After introductions, you’ll visit our historic century working farm where you will get to
see cattle, Nigerian Dwarf goats, sheep, chickens, ducks, and horses on a walking tour through the grounds. Relax and de-stress while feeding our cows, hugging goats, and collecting duck and chicken eggs. Depending on the time of year you might get to see other baby animals!
Next we will walk through the community gardens and greenhouses to see organic native plants and herbs and active bee hives. Seasons will determine how active the gardens are.
Finally you will tour the beautiful historic building that has many tales to tell. St. Joseph’s has been an orphanage that housed children from 1910 until the late 1970’s, had multiple uses during the war when the area was a town set up to aid the nearby Camp Robinson base, a pre-school, and now an artist colony and community space.
