Fun in the market aisles….

I know it’s Mother’s Day today, but if you need to spread your mother appreciation out over a week, Willow Springs has fresh cut posies in our plants section.

Ratchford has their delicious Elk and Buffalo Summer Sausage back. Lean and mean. Plus, it actually feels like Summer now.

Falling Sky just uploaded some hot sausage links from their woodland raised pigs. And Bluebird has ready made, smoked & chopped BBQ Pork. Vacuum sealed and ready for immediate enjoyment!

Fava Beans from Kellogg. A deeply flavorful bean. The window for this crop is short; this may well be the last week, so order up and give these bad boys a shot! Check out these recipes.

Crimmins’ Family Farm has fresh Nasturtium Blossoms. A spicy edible flower great for any salad.

Delicious, sweet sugar snap peas from Arkansas Natural Produce! And I heard some great things about North Pulaski Farm’s organic Fordhook Giant swiss chard yesterday.

FUN-raiser gossip…
Our Southern Roots fundraiser is fast approaching. A big THANKS to Little Rock Urban Farming for donating their organic strawberries for a tasty Spring libation. Another big THANKS to McSwain Ranch for contributing cuts of their delicious, pasture-raised lamb.
Get ready for some great silent auction items, including some cool offerings from Kent Walker’s Artisan Cheese and The Root Cafe.
Tickets available HERE, at the Green Cornerstore and Local Food Club!


Some Social Sharing from our Farmers….

Tammy Sue’s Critters :
“Life is good, my son got me a timer for light in chicken house. What an awesome Mother’s Day Gift!” If only all mothers got chicken house timers!

A fantastic video of their pigs roaming in the woods.

Willow Springs Market Garden :
A winning picture of some early Summer root vegetables.

And it might be too late to tell you this, but North Pulaski Farms has some beautiful organic strawberries at the Bernice Farmers’ Market, right now. Run, friends! Run and forage!

With authenticity and genuine feeling allover,
