Siloam Springs Farmers Market at the Dogwood Festival

The second week of market season was great! If you haven’t met David Mitchell of Dos Locos Farm make sure you stop and talk to him about his product. He sells lamb and goat and provides information about how to prepare each cut. This is our first year to have lamb. I noticed Ridgeline Farms Gourmet Microgreens had some mint for sale last weekend. That might work very nicely with lamb.

This coming Saturday, April 28th, the market will move to the Arvest Bank parking lot, downtown, across from 28 Springs Restaurant. We will be there from 8 am to 1 pm so come by and do your shopping before or after visiting the festival. There is a possibility there will be STRAWBERRIES this weekend!

Thank you for supporting our local farmers, makers, and bakers. See you Saturday!

Have a great week and see you Saturday!

Opening day will feature our first Kids Day for the season with free activities from 9 am to noon. Dragonfly
Studios will be with us offering amazing face painting services. Willi Carlisle, a local musician, will be playing

Those who receive SNAP/EBT benefits may purchase tokens at the market to use to purchase eggs, meat,
produce and baked goods all season. The market also participates in a Double Dollar program that provides
funds to match SNAP/EBT and Senior Voucher purchases.
“We’re partnering again this year with the Benton County Master Gardeners and the Siloam Springs Museum
to host second Saturday Kids Days April through September, as well as planning a calendar of events with
special programs most Saturdays,” explained market manager Stacy Hester. “The Power of Produce returns
this season providing a fun opportunity for children to engage in the local food system through conversations
directly with farmers, educational games and demonstrations, and exposure to new fruits and vegetables. In
addition to participating in educational activities, POP Club kids receive vouchers to spend at the market,
allowing them to make their own shopping decisions at the market. We will have live music, monthly cooking
demonstrations and more. Be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram for programming updates and
watch for a preview of our farmers, makers, and bakers in our Faces of the Farmers Market campaign”.
The Siloam Springs Farmers Market is a program of Main Street Siloam Springs.
