Road Side Serendipity--and Serenity Farm Bread

This weekend I got to make quick road trip through Arkansas to southern Missouri--a part of the world I saw frequently when my son was in college two states away, but haven't had a chance to visit in a while.


One of my favorite places to stop is Serenity Farms Bread, located just outside of Leslie, Arkansas. The actual bakery is located off the highway in the historic downtown of this tiny town, but this lovely store is right off the highway, overlooking the river, for the convenience of passersby.

Inside, you can choose from brick oven baked artisan breads and delicious pastries, as well as a variety of organic products. There's a small dining room where you can enjoy soup and the sandwich of the day, too.

My favorite view is of the gazebo outside, overlooking the river.

You never know what you might spy, from a birdbath hidden in the tangle of shrubs and vines...

...to one of the local residents, out for an afternoon stroll...

...or this bird condo, made from old coca-cola crates.

My favorite treat at Serenity Farms bread is still the cheese danish, but they make a mean carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, too.

If you ever find yourself winding through northern Arkansas on highway 65, about midway between Conway and Branson, you really don't want to miss this lovely stop along the way.

Until next time...
