Hello Arkavores:

Even with all this rain, several farmers plan to show up at our Argenta Farmers Market this Saturday with some great produce. Remember, the new winter hours for the outdoor market and the online market pickup are 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 noon.

Hello Arkavores:
The Argenta Farmers Market is open this Saturday! We have so many farmers that are still producing who have called this week to confirm they will be participating.  This is also Foodshed Farm Basket-A-Month pickup day at Argenta.  We expect to have extra milk, bacon, and a few other goodies that are surplus from the BAM program, so please don't hesitate to ask at the BAM booth if we have extra items for sale.

Dear Arkavores:
This is the biggie! Argenta Fall Foodie Fest is this Saturday, October 17, from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. We have 15 confirmed local chefs all serving local dishes at very reasonable prices (no festival or fair prices here!) There will be new arts and crafts vendors, live music, soap making lessons, corn shelling, a cider press demonstration with hot fresh apple cider, and knife sharpening. Nearly 20 Arkansas farms will be represented in almost two city blocks of local food and fun! We will have a large tent with plenty of seating. Visit the Foodie Fest page for a preview of what's on the menu!

Hello Arkavores:

This Saturday looks to be another solid market day for our CAFM Argenta farmers and customers.  And, we are only two more weeks away from Fall Foodie Fest in Argenta on October 17. Our farmers and more than 20 local chefs are gearing up for one last local food feast before winter sets in.  We hope you will mark your calendar and witness what is perhaps the largest local food event ever held in Arkansas. I think we are making history!
