Welcome to Hot Springs Locally Grown, an online farmer’s market that will begin serving Hot Springs, Hot Springs Village, and the surrounding areas in the Spring of 2008. This market is coordinating with local farmers to provide Hot Springs with the freshest and highest quality fruits, vegetables, eggs, meats,and dairy. All of the producers farm using strict standards that ensure clean, safe, humanely produced foods. All products sold at Conway Locally Grown are produced within 150 miles.
Why Support Locally Grown
Enhance local economy: By purchasing produce and other items from local growers you are providing stability to your local economy through the support of local businesses.
Save natural resources: Buying locally makes you an invaluable link in the process of saving resources such as fossil fuels and packaging materials. Also, we are right here in your community so the expense of transportation and delivery is kept to a minimum.
Provide learning opportunities: Locally Grown supporters provide member growers the means to help educate our community about the importance of sustainable agriculture.
Supporting a way of life: The number of small farms in the United States has decreased dramatically in the last decade. Please help us preserve an honest and worthy means of making a living.
We believe that small, diverse, family-owned farms contribute to society’s overall health.
The market is looking for local growers and artisans, please contact us for more information at 870.504.0399 or hopkins.cody@gmail.com
Membership Fees
To provide with farms tours, educational programs, and to help us with our overhead costs, we ask that you pay an annual fee of $25 per household for one calendar year. You are welcome to try us for two orders before you pay the membership. The website will automatically add the membership fee to your third order.
Ordering Options
Unlike other co-ops, buying clubs, or CSAs where everyone gets the same box of stuff (and you don’t know what you’re getting until you get it), with Locally Grown you get to order what you want, in the quantities that you want, from the farms that you want. Once we start deliveries this Spring, you will get a weekly email that will list the available products and artisanal goods.
