NEW GROWER! Opening Bell: Strawberries, Honey, Rice, Salad Mix!


Good afternoon!
We have a new Grower! Please take a look at Ralston Family Farm under the OUR GROWERS tab. They produce several varieties of rice in nearby Atkins, Arkansas. They have listed rice in 24 ounce bags for small families, and in 25 pound buckets for larger families. Search keyword “rice” to see their listings. Welcome!

Strawberries! Since we don’t currently have a Grower that produces Strawberries, I have arranged to have my friend, Brian, pick Strawberries for us from Goodson Farm in Damascus, Arkansas. He will pick them Friday morning and have them at market Friday afternoon. They will be $5 per Quart, and $20 per gallon. To get an idea of how many he should pick, please add a note to your order, or text me at 501-339-1039.

As you plan your garden, please remember to bring back your plant containers and pots to the market. We will reuse them.

Be sure to SEARCH for your favorite items using the search field. 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: Green Onions, Salad Mix, Kale, Cheese!


Good afternoon!
Many gardens are off to a slow start this season because of the two late frosts we had. Looks like all of that is behind us now so it’s safe to plant your tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, etc. At Cedar rock Ridge, our vegetable garden is 90% planted. We hope to get the last peppers and tomatoes in the ground tomorrow. The garlic has begun to form bulbs, and we are on track for a nice harvest in early June.

Consider adding coneflowers to your garden this year. I currently have over 100 plants in five colors growing: cream, yellow, orange, red, and purple. Save a spot in your garden for some of these hardy, perennial flowers. And birds love the seeds! As you plan your garden, please remember to bring back your plant containers and pots to the market. We will reuse them.

Thanks to Mable at Everette Brown Farm for bringing Spinach for the extras table on Friday. :-)

I heard the word “zucchini” from two Growers this week. If the weather warms up a little, it won’t be long…

Fresh-roasted and ground Coffee available now!

Good afternoon!
Freeze forecast for tonight!!! Protect your plants now! Reports coming in from Growers indicate that many plants were killed or damaged by the frost last week. Annual crops like Tomatoes and Peppers can be replanted with new plants, but fruits like Peaches and Apples will not recover and the year’s harvest will be severely affected unfortunately. Regardless of the situation, our Growers will continue to work diligently to provide us with the best local food possible. #dedication!

Fresh-roasted and ground Coffee available now!
