Our first farmer’s market (ever!) was on Saturday, at the Argenta Farmer’s Market in downtown North Little Rock. As we harvested, processed, packed, and prepared on Friday, we kept hearing daunting weather reports — 100% chance of rain, up to one inch expected, mainly in the morning, etc. But we forged ahead, unfazed. And the rain miraculously held off! It was a great day at a great farmer’s market. Everyone, customers and farmers included, were clearly happy to be kicking off a new year, and there was a great variety of Arkansas-grown food available. Unlike most “farmer’s markets” in the area, the Argenta Farmer’s Market is comprised 100% of Arkansas farmers who grow all of the products they sell. We’re going to try to be there every Saturday, so come check us out.
