Siloam Springs, AR: Online Market is Open!
www.siloamsprings.locallygrown.net
The outdoor market had a great turnout today and beautiful weather! The mild temperatures have been beneficial to our farmers and the early sowing of their crops. Herbs, greens, root veggies, strawberries, squash and zuchinni, onions, beets, turnips and daikon were plentiful today. Local, Arkansas honey is always available. There were lots of fresh, cut flowers just in time for Mothers Day! Farm fresh eggs, pastured pork(bacon, chops, ham, work loin, sausage, brats), pastured chicken(whole birds and cuts), and grass fed beef(ground, brisket, steaks, roasts, snack sticks) are also available. Loaf breads, cakes, pizza crusts, cookies, flat breads, cinnamon rolls, scones and muffins are baked fresh. Jams and jellies are made with love. Knitted and crocheted items are hand made and ready to be worn or draped on a chair or bed. Hand made soaps, bath teas and more in fabulous scents and homemade laundry detergent, deodorant, lip balms, and first aid creams are crafted by local makers. Beautiful art is displayed by a beautiful local artist who paints plein air while visitors observe. All types of plants are available from succulents to hanging baskets to roses. Local musicians are invited to play their tunes and today Sam Thompson joined us from Fayetteville. If you haven’t been by to visit yet this season make time to do so on Tuesday(3-7 pm) or Saturday morning 8 am to 1 pm.
The online market continues year round and placing an order online ensures you get the items you want. During the outdoor market season you pick the order up at the Welcome Station between 9 am and noon.
