Will I have to buy vegetables I don't want?

At Stone County Locally Grown you get to order what you want, in the quantities that you want, from the farms that you want. After you register for a customer account, you’ll receive a weekly email that lists the produce, milled products, fresh flowers, and artisan goods available that week, and you can browse the items on this website before you place your order.

How do I order?

Each Sunday evening, a list of available products is sent to all of our registered customers by e-mail. Customers must place their order for the week no later than Tuesday at 5:00 p.m. Orders can be placed here on our website. Ordering through this web site is our preferred method as it is designed to reduce the amount of time it takes us to process orders as well as provide you with detailed information about our products.

When do I pay?

Individual vendors accept cash and some, if not all, accept checks when you pick up your order. Because we may have to adjust your total at pickup (to account for unnanounced items you decide to purchase or items that were unexpectedly unavailable), we do not accept advance payment on the website.

When and Where do I pick up my order?

Online orders must be picked up at Stone County Farmers Market (Centennial Bank Park) on Saturdays by 9:30AM unless other arrangements have been made between you and your grower.

Why Support Locally Grown?

Enhance your local economy: By purchasing produce and other items from local growers you are providing stability to your local economy through the support of local businesses.

Save natural resources: Buying locally makes you an invaluable link in the process of saving resources such as fossil fuels and packaging materials. Also, we are right here in your community so the expense of transportation and delivery is kept to a minimum.

Provide learning opportunities: Locally Grown supporters provide member growers the means to help educate our community about the importance of sustainable agriculture.

Supporting a way of life: The number of small farms in the United States has decreased dramatically in the last decade. Please help us preserve an honest and worthy means of making a living.

We believe that small, diverse, family-owned farms contribute to society’s overall health.

How can I sell through this market?

If you’ve already created a customer account here, simply go to Our Growers and click on ‘Join this Market’. This will add you to our system and we will contact you with the next step. We do charge an annual vendor fee of $20 and a 6% (of online sales) site management fee.

The $20 vendor fee can be paid by cash or check at Stone County Farmers Market on Saturdays or by check (mailed to Stone County Locally Grown, POB 539, Mtn. View, AR, 72560). We can also deduct it from your online sales. The 6% management fee will be charged as sales take place.

Payment of the fee also establishes you as a Stone County Farmers Market Vendor with all vendor privileges such as selling at the Market site at Centennial Bank Park on market days if you so choose.

Like at a traditional farmers’ market, you do get to set your own prices and list your items as you wish.
