Hello Arkavores:

This Saturday looks to be another solid market day for our CAFM Argenta farmers and customers.  And, we are only two more weeks away from Fall Foodie Fest in Argenta on October 17. Our farmers and more than 20 local chefs are gearing up for one last local food feast before winter sets in.  We hope you will mark your calendar and witness what is perhaps the largest local food event ever held in Arkansas. I think we are making history!

Products at CAFM Argenta this Saturday
We will see more apples, tomatoes, squash, eggplant, peppers, tai tsoi, mustard greens, radishes, raspberries, hot and sweet peppers of all kinds, acorn and butternut squash, flowers, beef, duck, chicken, beefalo, eggs, pasta, breads and hot coffee, to name a few that I have confirmed.

Special Event:  Knife Sharpening
Farmer Sheldon Sturtevant is a talented knife sharpener. He plans to bring his equipment to the market on Saturday and will offer his services to all who bring a knife (straight edge blades only). He will ask for a donation instead of charging a fee.  Please take advantage of this opportunity, and remember a dull knife is more dangerous than a sharp knife—according to the old farmer axiom.

Thanks for your great support!
