Welcome To Clarksdale!

The Heart of the Mississippi Delta

Fields White Unto Harvest

Clarksdale/Coahoma County, located in the heart of the Mississippi Delta, is home to the most fertile land outside of the Nile, where everything grows well, including friendships. Clarksdale is located only 75 miles south of Memphis, TN, the distribution center of the United States. It is just close enough to afford us the big-city life, but far enough away to allow us to retain our small-town atmosphere and quieter way of life.
