The Market is Open!

Good Day Food Club,

The market is open with more variety than ever!

• It’s the return of Laughing Stock Farm and their incredible red and mango fresh turmeric! This is a surprisingly versatile root that has a whole host of health benefits. Look for it under herbs & spices.

• And what a week, Hardin Farms is also back on the market with tons and tons of pecans! I’ve been known to say that pecans are one of my favorite things about Arkansas…they’re a great addition to salads and are the main attraction in my favorite dessert.

• Cabbage is here from Barnhill Orchards, and that means it’s time for some gut-healthy, probiotic-dense homemade sauerkraut!

• More delicious preserved products from The Root Cafe. This time it’s honey pilsner pickles and pear sauce…YUM!

• Yesterday’s Food Club volunteers were treated to wild boar snacks generously donated by Ratchford Farms. Food Club is only made possible thanks to our incredible volunteers, and we’re always looking for more helping hands. E-mail littlerockfoodclub@gmail.com to get on our volunteer listserv and receive wonderful snacks, coffee, fellowship, and $5 market credit every time you answer the call.

I’ve just found out about an amazing new restaurant: The Table Cafe. They’re serving a free community meal the first Sunday of each month out at First Pres Argenta. All they ask is that you use the time you would spend preparing the meal to gather round the table with friends and family. There is no cost for the meal, but donations are welcome to help cover basic expenses so that everyone might enjoy the opportunity to dine together. They’ll be open tonight, but if you can’t make it in time simply follow them on facebook to stay in the loop on future meals.

Happy November!
