Most Fridays, you can find me making the rounds to all my local farmers to pick up their goodness. Central Arkansas holds an abundance of people who do the sustainable, hard work of raising food on small farms. These families take stewardship of the earth seriously, and I take joy in supporting them and in enjoying their products.
My first stop is a pickup from Shaky K Farms. Always eggs, sometimes meat, and in the summer always beautiful veggies. Billianne is a dear and knows the personalities of each of her pigs :)
My next stop is usually Berkley Farm. This time of year, I can count on them for fresh leafy greens. Lauren even cut some kale for me when I asked if she had any available. Great service!
Then I keep going north for a stop at Richardson Farms to pick up delicious raw milk. Lydia provides milk that stays good a long time with a thick layer of cream on top. It's fun to watch the color of the cream change throughout the year as the grass grows again.
While I'm in Rosebud, I grab coffee beans at Rozark Hills Coffee Roasterie. They have a great selection of decaf and regular beans, single-origin beans, and blends.
Then I turn south towards my last stop, Flying C Ranch. Leanna has stocked lots of delicious and beautiful local products, but I'm there for the special blend ground beef.
So much goodness in our area!
