Ryan and Mary Christine Neal established Neal Family Farm in 2012, with the first planting of blueberries. They met in Perryville, Arkansas while working at Heifer Ranch, and co-managing the vegetable fields and outdoor education. Mary Christine is currently a teacher for Rogers Public Schools and Ryan is an instructor and extension agent for the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture. They love keeping this land in food production, working with their family, and sharing the joy of harvest with the public.
