All life depends on the health of our planet

Since 1876 the Daniel Farm has fostered a proud and rich family history. There are now eight generations that know and value this place in southwestern Arkansas.

The original family came from south Georgia following the Civil War. The first three generations were crop farmers growing cotton, corn, field peas and other grains to feed their livestock. In the 1950’s the fourth generation began to transition the farm back to a forest landscape primarily through natural pine and hardwood forest regeneration. In the 1990’s we saw our first commercial harvest of pine saw log timber. Since then, our family has worked toward a comprehensive long-term management plan with the focus to sustain a unique mosaic of forest ecosystems and wildlife rich in biodiversity.

Today the ultimate goal of the Daniel Farm through sound management practices, scientific research and educational outreach is to inspire others to manage their land in a manner that protects the health of our planet, which all life depends on.
