Opening Bell: Peppers, Garlic, Peaches, Green Beans!


Good afternoon!
Cooking with fresh herbs will excite your taste buds! Enjoy homemade pizza using tomato slices, basil and oregano leaves, and topped with jalapeno slices. I made pizza for Carissa last night, and she loved it. I then told her that there was NO PIZZA SAUCE on it. I used thinly sliced tomatoes and fresh Italian herbs as noted above, along with mushrooms, grass fed ground beef, and cheese. Mmmm!

I was doing some price comparisons at Wal-Mart last week and found that their fresh herbs sell for $2.24 plus tax. All fresh herbs on CLG sell for $1-$2. What a bargain! And shiitake mushrooms sell for $9.10 plus tax for 8 ounces at Wal-Mart, but on CLG you can get fresh shiitake mushrooms for only $5.25 for half a pound! Bell peppers sell for 11 cents cheaper on CLG too!

We have some outstanding Growers who work very hard to supply us with super fresh products each and every week. We are fortunate to live in a place where we can indulge in healthy food straight from the farm, picked just for us! Bask in the goodness!

Don’t forget to check out the recipe page on Conway Locally Grown! This week we found and added a wonderful peach recipe, Brown Sugar Baked Peaches! Yum, yum!!!

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!

Usually our volunteers have the market ready for customers to pick up before 4pm. If you are out and about and want to know if we are ready, just text me to see: 501-339-1039.

Check out over 500 wonderful items listed right now. See you on Friday!

Come early on Friday for the best selection from the EXTRAS table. And save your eggshells throughout the week for the laying hens! :-)

The market is now OPEN for orders.

Please check your email about 5 minutes after you place your order to make sure you get an order confirmation. Thank you for being a valuable part of CLG!
Have a great week!

Opening Bell: NEW GROWER, Onions, Squash, Potatoes!


Good afternoon!
For the second week in a row, we are very excited to welcome a NEW Grower to our CLG family. Phyllis and Gary Strack have been growing great vegetables on their family farmland right here in Conway for almost 30 years, as have 2 generations before them! Learn more about Strack Farm using the OUR GROWERS tab at top of the page. I toured their operation on Thursday and was very impressed at all the work that had gone into the long rows of healthy plants, as well as the irrigation system fed from a lake next to the garden. Expect great things from this new Grower!

Carissa added a new recipe under the RECIPES tab at the top of the site. NEW POTATOES IN A CREAMY GARLIC DILL SAUCE. She made it for lunch today using local produce available right now at CLG, and it was awesome!

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!
