Did anyone see that rainbow this morning, while breathing this fresh cool air and watching the sunrise? Stunning! My perspective was from my mobile office, parked at 6th and Main Street, from the Certified Arkansas Farmers Market in historic Argenta. If you didn't know, today is the first day of fall, and it started off perfectly.

Produce at CAFM Argenta today (Tuesday): Turnip Greens, pumpkins, apples, personal-sized watermelons, arugula, colorful sweet peppers, a few kale and broccoli plants, pastured eggs, pasta, and a wonderful habanero hot sauce from Chef Shane Henderson at Argenta Market. 

The next CAFM report will be coming in two days with updates on all the activities in Argenta this weekend.  It's a big weekend for us in Argenta, and we hope you will go ahead and plan to come down for awhile Saturday morning. Already farmers are calling and seeing a re-growth of their gardens due to the unusual weather lately.  I already know that pumpkins and mums will be arriving in larger volume this weekend.  Stay tuned for the weekend update.

See you at the market in Argenta,
