Welcome to the 2nd edition of FRESH, the Arkansas Local Food Network’s directory of community and school gardens, farmer’s markets, stores and restaurants offering local food options, hunger relief efforts seeking local food organizations, and farms that invite you to visit and grow food. Fresh is online at www.arlocalfoodnetwork.org/Fresh. E-mail [email protected] to contact us with listing edits and updates.
To find local food in Benton, Carroll, Madison, and Washington counties, visit the Feed Fayetteville Northwest Arkansas Local Food Guide at http://www.nwalocalfoodguide.org/.
The Arkansas Local Food Network (ALFN) is a 501c3 nonprofit working to strengthen Arkansas farmers, promote the local food system, and support community food endeavors. We do this through the Little Rock Local Food Club, our year-round, online farmer’s market at www.littlerock.locallygrown.net, our Green Groceries food pantry that gets fresh, locally-produced food to low-income families, and our community fund grants for small farmers and gardens. ALFN is dedicated to growing healthy farms, gardens, businesses, economy, and community.

csa programsA CSA (community supported agriculture) is a farm basket program in which the customer pays in advance to receive baskets or boxes of produce in regular increments, usually every week for a growing season. The CSA program allows farms to receive financial support through their growing seasons, and customers enjoy an intimate relationship with their CSA growers.

Healthier environments produce healthier people. And healthier people produce greater economic outputs, consume fewer healthcare resources and lead better, longer lives. With this in mind, the Arkansas Coalition for Obesity Prevention (ArCOP) has been focused on its Growing Healthy Communities (GHC) project, which fosters these outcomes through proven, disciplined & replicable methods, since 2010.
New in 2014, ArCOP is piloting three GHC levels that will allow the Coalition to work with an even larger number of Arkansas communities and recognize them for their efforts:
Emerging Level designations will be awarded to communities who are ready to begin the process of becoming a healthier community.
Blossoming Level communities are already committed to making positive change and are formally working towards making the healthy choice the easy choice.
Thriving Level designations are reserved for those communities that are able to demonstrate change through data and success stories.
Learn more about how your community can receive recognition for its efforts to become healthier - as well as training opportunities and other resources - onArCOP’s website:

Laughing Stock Farm was born in Grady, AR on the family land, and after several years of growing fruits & vegetables there, we purchased land closer to Little Rock that is more suitable to organic farming. Our 40 acre, certified organic farm is focused on sustainable, healthy food production. We utilize solar power, rain water, surface water, and on farm composting to keep our environmental impact to a minimum while growing the best food possible.
