The Locals is very excited to start working with Foodshed Farms. Starting the first week in May, Foodshed Farms will deliver boxes of fresh, healthy, local produce to The Locals Food Hub in Downtown Conway every Wednesday.
Foodshed Farms is a farmer-owned cooperative created to increase access to fresh, local food while supporting the livelihoods of small-scale Arkansas farmers. Their Certified Organic and Certified Naturally Grown farmers have joined together to strengthen our regional food system by growing food that cultivates jobs and community. Their mission is to provide consistent, dependable, and valuable markets for small scale Arkansas farmers while improving access to fresh, local foods in Arkansas communities.
Incubated by Heifer International’s USA program, Foodshed Farms hopes to expand the local food market in Arkansas and keep our food dollars in Arkansas’ economy, bettering the lives of small-scale farmers and consumers alike.
