CLG: Opening Bell: Pork Chops, Peppers, Peaches, Mushrooms!
Good afternoon!
I was never a Boy Scout, but I use their motto “Be Prepared” regarding eating local. We buy in bulk when items are available in season so that we can enjoy them during the off season. In the freezer we have spinach and broccoli from Kellogg Valley, purple hull peas from Green Acres Atkins, lima and pinto beans from Bluebird Hill Berry Farm, peach slices from Drewry Orchard, cantaloupe chunks from Hardin Farms, and chicken from KMG Farm and Grass Roots.
This is the time of year when most Growers transition from summer crops to fall crops. We try to coax a little more production from squash, tomatoes, etc. while planting vegetables to harvest as the weather cools. Take a look all around the market and you will find lots of goodies, some to enjoy now, and some to savor during the coming winter.
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!
Steve
