Dear Howard County Farmers Market fans,

- We will also have a wonderful representative from the Central Arkansas Development Council, Teresa Adkins, there ready to answer questions if you need educational, job or home utility assistance. The CADC is located in Nashville and their role is to develop and deliver the programs and services that can meet the needs of hard-working low income families and rural communities. It’s their mission and purpose to encourage and empower each person to take action, identify problems, create solutions, and generate results in the war on poverty.

We recommend you get there as soon as we open for the best selection. The Farmers Market will be open until 11am. Friday’s forecast is for a 40% chance of rain early in the day. So put an umbrella in the car just in case.

We also request you wear protective masks and follow social distancing of 6 feet separation from others as you shop. Most importantly, please stay home if you are experiencing flu-like symptoms.
