I have waited patiently for a long time to say this: Construction on Argenta Maket has begun! On December 14, the new Argenta Market went under the hammer, and a complete remodeling job will transform the space into a beautiful, warm and well organized community grocery store--FINALLY!!!

From Jody Hardin
Hello Locavores,
We have just learned, after weeks of discussions, planning, designing and raising capital, that our earliest possible opening date will be late June or July, this summer. After getting over the disappointment of not being able to open sooner, I'm confident that this is the best thing for our new Argenta Market.

| The pace is picking up for the opening of Argenta Market, and we are in need of volunteers to help us move in equipment, paint, plant, clean, build cabinets and share a Barbara's Beefalo BBQ this Saturday, March 14, from 8am to 12pm. We want to open the doors to Argenta Market in 19 days. If you would like to help, please email Barbara at csalittlerock@yahoo.com. This is an exciting time and we will have FUN watching all that Jody has built and dreamed of begin to unfold in 19 days! This is only the beginning!

Things could be going faster, but I'm having some back issues that have me going much too slow, and miserable. Work is piling up and I'm afraid I'm getting behind on some things. Nevetheless, progress is being made thanks to the volunteers and many loyal BAM members!
I'm working on the February basket, but most of my time is spent thinking how we can make Argenta Market work for us and the building owners. Everything and everybody tells me it is too risky, but its the fact that so many potential customers from Argenta have told me it will be well received. I can see the new ALL Arkansas Farmer's Market working well in the new location, and ample parking will draw the crowds from the River Market. In conjunction with the many restaurants and our new Argenta Market opening at the same time, something good is going to happen with Argenta this summer. I'm moving ahead with BAM, and know that this will be our main attraction, while I'm studying the product mix for Argenta Market. This store is about local food in a very true sense, and as long as this is what it is all about, I couldn't be more engaged and determined to make it happen. This is what it will take. For all those who have been so committed to supporting our small but growing effort to distribute local food from local farmers, we do this for YOU. And, we know there are many more out there who want to eat local. It only take a few committed customers like so many have been for the past two to three years to keep the momentum going. >>Jody 2/5/08

Argenta Market gets the green light!
We are in the final stages of our plans to do our new store in Argenta. It will be called Argenta Market and we are very excited to have put the final touches on the floor design this weekend. We now have a growing product list with much of it being from local producers, chefs, bakeries, farmers, etc.. Of course, we think you will be impressed when you see it the first time. Projected opening date is April 2008.
Location: We are in a new building directly adjacent to Creegan’s Irish Pub, facing Main Street. Parking is scattered behind us, across the street, in the US BANK parking lot, and curbside for 30 min. loading unloading zone and quick pickups.
