The Arkansas Department of Agriculture has partnered with the Farm Credit Associations of Arkansas for the 9th annual Arkansas Farmers Market Promotion Program. This program, which is administered by the department and funded by the Farm Credit Associations of Arkansas, helps build awareness for farmers markets and their vendors.
It provides funding assistance for the state’s farmers markets to serve their communities as consumer interest in locally grown and made products continues to increase.
The Farmers Market Promotion Program may fund the following promotional items to build community and regional awareness for a specific farmers market. The program provides signage listing names, seasons, times of operation, and location details. Local, traditional advertising is utilized along with social media campaigns.
