CLG:  Opening Bell: NEW GROWER, Onions, Squash, Potatoes!


Good afternoon!
For the second week in a row, we are very excited to welcome a NEW Grower to our CLG family. Phyllis and Gary Strack have been growing great vegetables on their family farmland right here in Conway for almost 30 years, as have 2 generations before them! Learn more about Strack Farm using the OUR GROWERS tab at top of the page. I toured their operation on Thursday and was very impressed at all the work that had gone into the long rows of healthy plants, as well as the irrigation system fed from a lake next to the garden. Expect great things from this new Grower!

Carissa added a new recipe under the RECIPES tab at the top of the site. NEW POTATOES IN A CREAMY GARLIC DILL SAUCE. She made it for lunch today using local produce available right now at CLG, and it was awesome!

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 550 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
