Potatoes! Opening Bell: Flowers, Honey, Squash, Green Beans!


Good afternoon!
With temperatures so mild, there is still time to plant some beautiful rose of Sharon bushes in your yard, or along your fence. These carefree shrubs will give you decades of beautiful flowers.

On Friday, we had three tables filled with wholesome produce from local gardens. Our growers are very busy maintaining their fields and bringing us the freshest, most nutritious food around.

Oak grown shiitake mushrooms are looking good from Sweden Creek Farm in Kingston, Arkansas. They are delicious stuffed with cream cheese and shredded cheddar, and baked for 25 minutes. Or search the Internet for an excellent recipe entitled: sticky shiitake mushrooms.

Cucumbers are in abundance now. Why not try your hand at making dill pickles or bread & butter pickles? Search the Internet for easy refrigerator pickles that don’t require the hot water bath.

Bell Urban Farm has the most awesome fresh flower bouquets available now. Get one for your home or office, and another for a neighbor to brighten their day.

Be sure to SEARCH for your favorite items using the search field. We have over 600 items available now!

Most items are listed by 6pm Sunday, but check back again before the market closes Tuesday night to see if any other items are ready to be harvested for you! Eat fresh! Eat local! Eat for better health!

And save your eggshells throughout the week for the laying hens! :-)

The market is now OPEN for orders. Click here to start shopping:

Opening Bell: Squash, Potatoes, Cucumbers, Pork!


Good afternoon!
It’s been a wild and emotional week with flood waters rising in Faulkner County and beyond. Cedar Rock Ridge is located in the same Treasure Hills subdivision that you may have heard about in the news. Carissa and I are not having water issues but several of our neighbors have lost their homes. Hopefully the water will crest Monday or Tuesday, but it will still be several weeks before all the water recedes and the heavy work of clean-up and rebuilding begins. Arkansans are resilient and together we will return to normalcy.

Near-perfect springtime weather has brought on a bounty of delicious, locally grown vegetables. Try to incorporate yellow squash, zucchini squash, potatoes, garlic, lettuce and others in every meal this week. Our growers work very hard every day to bring you the most nutritious food around.

Two words: Wickles. Friday.

Bradford Valley Farm has whole chicken, chicken tenders, drumsticks, and … PORK: bacon, chops, ham, ground, and roasts. Time to plan something grilled for dinner one night soon. Great food, produced locally!

Be sure to SEARCH for your favorite items using the search field. We have over 650 items available now!

Most items are listed by 6pm Sunday, but check back again before the market closes Tuesday night to see if any other items are ready to be harvested for you! Eat fresh! Eat local! Eat for better health!
