ALFN Local Food Club: The Market is Open!
Good Morning Food Club,
The ice and rain are over, the temperatures are up, and the market is open. Could it be that we’ve made it through this long and dreadful winter? Is it finally time to switch out the winter coats for rain jackets and re-explore our beautiful Arkansas outdoors? Folks, I’m super stoked, because with each passing week the market will be loaded with exciting and delicious new locally-grown goodness. This week we’ve got…
- Home gardeners will rejoice with all of the wonderful plants from A B C Nature Greenhouse & Herb Farm. Grow your own exciting varieties of cabbage, citrus trees, lettuce, medicinal & tea herbs, homegrown spices, and SO much more with the help of A B C.
- It’s not too early to start thinking about dyed Easter eggs from Bluebird Hill Berry Farm. Just send an e-mail to jdjjhm39@gmail.com with the number of half-dozens you’d like, and they’ll deliver these beautifully dyed eggs for you closer to Easter.
- Don’t know what to do with dandelion roots from Arkansas Natural Produce? I love me some roasted dandelion root coffee, a highly medicinal coffee substitute.
- It’s about time to get those grills fired up, and whether it’s pasture-raised beef, buffalo, chicken, elk, lamb, or pork, we’ve got all the cuts you’ll need to make the whole neighborhood jealous.
- And thanks to Homayd Natural Care Products, there’s some amazing new items in our Bath & Beauty section. They’ve got all-natural eye makeup remover, wrinkle-fighting eye serum, and moisturizing facial oil and toner to ensure that what you’re putting on your body is as good as what you’re putting in it.
We’ve heard back from Whole Foods about our 1% Community Giving Day last month and have got some great news: We’re receiving $1,591.43 thanks to your support. A HUGE thank-you goes out to all of our board members, customers, farmers, volunteers, friends, and family for showing up in force, and especially to the new Whole Foods for giving back. I’m so inspired to be part of such a supportive community and for me, that’s what make this place home.
With Unending Gratitude,
- Alex Handfinger
Director of Operations

United States Virgin Islands: This Week in VI Locally Grown!
Hello VI Locally Grown members!
New crops are coming in and we had a phenomenal market last week. We brought lots of fresh ripe fruits: bananas, mame apples, tamarind, watermelon, papaya, and more! We should have many of these crops again this week. We also will be bringing our homemade salad dressings from our in-house chef Jessica Rockstein. We will have lots of salad green varieties to complement them! Again this week we will bring you lots of heirloom and cherry tomatoes. See you on Wed!Best,

Champaign, OH: Selection Sunday!
Yes!! The day is here!! It’s Christmas for college basketball fans!! Today we see which teams will pop up where in the bracket!!
And may I just pause for a minute to say…wait for it, wait for it…
Kentucky will be the No. 1 overall seed in the tournament!!!
Okay…now that I have that out of my system, let’s move on with the little local market of love!
I have a great idea for today!! In honor of Selection Sunday (and, this will work even if you are not a college basketball fanatic) why don’t we make this Selection Sunday of Champaign Locally Grown?
What if everyone decided to make one, two, or a HUGE selection of market items, today, on Selection Sunday…
Come on…let’s do it!! We need to pass the time, anyway, until we get to see how the teams all fall into place!!
By the end of the day, I want to see the selections!!
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam

Good afternoon,
Spring has sprung! Daffodils blooming, trees budding, and farmers with muddy boots: all signs that it’s time to get busy outdoors. Over 500 items available this week, including many plants! Strawberries will be available very soon! Any mushroom lovers? I found a bunch of Auricularia auricula (Jew’s ear) mushrooms at Cedar Rock Ridge in Conway. Email me and I’ll bring you some on Friday, or you can forage your own on Saturday morning.
Check out all the Featured Products and use the SEARCH field on the main Market page to quickly find the items you want.
Come early on Friday for the best selection from the EXTRAS table.
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!
