Down A Gravel Road

Down A Gravel Road
Finding Curry Road

Welcome to the Adventures of Living On Curry Road

Rye, Arkansas is located eleven miles north of Warren, AR, fifteen miles west of Monticello, AR and approximately thirty miles south of Pine Bluff, AR. Rye has been the home of the Curry family for over five generations. This family has farmed this land producing cattle, chickens, timber. The area is beautiful and the family culture is equally impressive with its generations of family that continue to live by the standards that made America a great country.

Rye, AR and the Curry family are a story of strong American values and the building of personal character, the love of God and a lot of very hard dedicated work. Donald Curry and Kay Curry are the current owners of most of the original farm land originally developed by the generations of Curry family. Kay Curry is the daughter of Jimmy and Hazel Baker and married Donald over fifty years ago. Both have continued the legacy of the farm life on Curry Road. Donald and Kay have raised a family of two daughters and one son. Mark Curry currently operates a cattle operation as well as four chicken houses on his part of the property. Lisa Tooke, wife of Dennis Tooke of Lake Charles, La and Donna Curry, of Little Rock, AR plan to retire back to the farm land when thier retirement time comes.

Jane and I were asked to help in a restoration of the 104 year old house shown above. We are so blessed to be allowed to have input as well as provide a labor of love to help restore this house to its original beauty for Donald and Kay Curry

As Jane and I came into the property with our RV, we came down the gravel road leading to Curry Road. We came down this gravel road and had to stop and take a picture. We are including that picture with this overview so you too can see the beauty of this area.

It reminded us of the book “The Painted House” by John Grisham and we hope you will get the same response.

Esau's Corn,,,,, No Kidding

There's a place just outside of Dumas AR that grows the most wonderful sweet corn in the world.  When you eat it on the cob, all you have to do is get it a little warm and add a little salt.  Its the best thing you've ever eaten, or at least we think it is.

The entire thing is a process and its the same every year.   Their fields are all irrigated and the corn stalks are treaded like movie stars I'm guessing.  They have to be happy stalks to make this sweet of corn.

Once your inside the process moves pretty quickly and the entire process is over less than 15 minutes.  Give you name and time and they give you your corn sacks. 




You have to call and order your sacks of corn in April or sooner if possible and you get a day and a time to come and pick up your corn.  Yep,,,,,be on time and come with the money because if you don't someone else will get your corn.

We got ours and we have it in the freezer waiting for you to come and enjoy, so come on down.
