Good afternoon! The online market is a great way to ensure you get the items you want by ordering them and picking them up at the market on Saturday! Order what you need for your Memorial Day cookouts.
The vegetables available online do not reflect ALL the variety available at the outdoor market. So much more is available so make sure you visit the farmers tables when you stop by.
Check out the great selection of perennials available. They are hardy and propagated from plants grown in Arkansas for over 30 years. You can see photos of them at the outdoor market near the Market Welcome Station.

We Need Your Input!! Please complete our survey!
In 2014, through a series of public surveys and meetings, a vision was cast for creating a combined farmers market/ amphitheater pavilion on the land downtown where the former Siloam Springs Medical Center sat, now adjacent to the new Siloam Springs Public Library.
As we consider moving forward with that vision and continue to carry out the mission of the farmers market, we would like your input as a customer.
Here is the link to the survey:

We had a GREAT first Kids Day. The weather was breezy and cool and the kids enjoyed themselves immensely! Shout outs to the Siloam Springs Museum and Benton County Master Gardeners for providing fun activities for the kiddos.
We had several new vendors today as well. This and That with hand made jewelry who will be with us on 2nd and 4th Saturdays, Wood Creations with beautiful wooden spoons, trivets, hand made rockers and more will be with us every Saturday, and Rochelle Broglen, Henna and Body Paint artist will be with us every Kids Day.
Our SNAP/EBT machine broke the first day of market but we received notification Friday that new equipment has been shipped! We hope to be offering SNAP again soon.
Tuesday, May 17th is Trucks and Tunes at the Farmers Market. Musician Pat Ryan Key will be playing tunes from 4-6 pm and Yeyos will be serving up some amazing food! This will be a fun gathering if community. Hope to see you there!
