Swihart Orchard
Where Swihart Orchard is located
You'll find Swihart Orchard just outside Leachville, in the farm country of Mississippi County, Arkansas. The setting is small-town, agricultural, and quiet, the sort of drive that feels like the trip is already part of the experience.
Most guests punch 117 West Swihart Road, Leachville into their phone and let GPS do the work, the entrance is signed from the road and there's a parking area once you turn in.
Plan on making it a mini road trip. The surrounding Mississippi County back roads are worth the detour in fall color, and Leachville itself usually has a farmers market or cider stop within a few minutes of the orchard.
