Is It Labor Day Already!

Gearing up for a great three day weekend? Our Saturday and Monday pickups will not be interrupted by holiday festivities so don’t hesitate to place an order (or two, or three) before The Market closes tomorrow morning.

Speaking of Shopping:

Make sure you have all the ingredients for a phenomenal feast: franks and fresh bratwurst from Meatworks Butchery, apple brats and smoked sausage from Falling Sky Farm, jalapeno cheddar brats and buffalo hot dogs from Ratchford Farm, plenty of ground beef, buffalo, elk and lamb for gourmet burgers galore and whole chickens in every shape and size from Farm Girl Natural Foods. All pastured. All delicious. All available and ready to travel from an Arkansas farm to an Arkansas grill.

While you’re at it, don’t forget that sensational sides are often the stars of the show. Stock up on new red potatoes from Crimmins Family Farm for fantastic potato salad, an assortment of aubergines from Kellogg Valley Farm and Arkansas Natural Produce to grill, and a myriad of cucumbers, tomatoes and onions for marinating. Finish the feast with refreshing melon salad featuring cantaloupe from Crimmins Family Farm and chocolate mint from Bussey-Scott Urban Farm, or truly indulge with poached pears featuring kieffer pears from Barnhill Orchard and honey from The Sweet Life Apiary, perhaps over ice cream. Either way you’ll return to work rested, full of zest and vigor, ready to dive back in to the daily grind. Or at least well fed.
