Next Wednesday's Market


This post expired on November 16, 2022.

Dear Green Fork Farmers Market customers,

To help you plan for next week, we want to let you know that we will have a market on Wednesday before Thanksgiving so you can get your naturally grown holiday meal ingredients fresh from your local farmers! We have so many great items to make your meals special. Surprise everyone with a large chicken instead of a turkey, and a green salad with fresh tomatoes and cucumbers (grown in hoop houses locally!), microgreens, gourmet olives, and radishes. For lovely side dishes, consider beets, turnips, greens, and brussels sprouts. We have fresh sage to flavor your chicken, turkey, dressing, and many other dishes. We know you will need chicken or duck eggs for baking, sausage to go in your dressing, and pork neckbones, fatback, or bacon to cook with your greens. For dessert, you must try our new pumpkin pie tartes and hazelnut macaroons! Honey makes a wonderful gift for your dinner hosts, friends, and family, and we have it in all shapes and sizes—samplers, honey bears, half pints, pints, quarts and half gallons. We also have handmade soap, sugar scrub, lip balm, skin toner, and for sale at the market only—greeting cards, notepads, gift card holders, gift tags, and holiday planners.

We will send this announcement out again Saturday night as a reminder when we open the online market, and then you can preorder as usual until Monday at midnight and pick up in the Breezeway at Nightbird Books on Wednesday from 4-7 pm. A few of our farmers will also be at the market and have things available for sale from the table:

Green Fork Farm: Chicken, beef, pork, eggs, fresh sage, microgreens, and handmade greeting cards and gifts.

NWA Natural Produce: Tomatoes, cucumbers, brussels sprouts, beets, turnips, radishes, mustard greens, collards, kale, and broccoli raab.

Crosses Creek Farm: Honey, honey with comb, and beeswax.

Figgieville: Gourmet olives and—New items!— hazelnut macaroons and pumpkin pie tartes.

We look forward to providing you with the best local, naturally grown and handmade products available. See you on Wednesday!
