CLG: Opening Bell: Cantaloupe, Mushrooms, Peaches, Corn!
Good afternoon!
With the scorching heat lately, we can expect a reduction in the amount of quality food being produced in the gardens and fields. At this time of year, I just try to keep my plants alive through the heat so they can continue to produce into the fall. This is also the time of year some Growers elect to take a week of vacation here and there. Look at KMG Farm to be listing additional Chicken and Beef very soon.
Don’t forget to check out the recipe page on Conway Locally Grown!
Most items are listed by 6pm Sunday, but check back again before the market closes Tuesday night to see if any other items are ready to be harvested for you! Eat fresh! Eat local! Eat for better health!
Usually our volunteers have the market ready for customers to pick up before 4pm. If you are out and about and want to know if we are ready, just text me to see: 501-339-1039.
Check out over 300 wonderful items listed right now. See you on Friday!
Come early on Friday for the best selection from the EXTRAS table. And save your eggshells throughout the week for the laying hens! :-)
The market is now OPEN for orders.
Please check your email about 5 minutes after you place your order to make sure you get an order confirmation. Thank you for being a valuable part of CLG!
Have a great week!
