ARKANSAS GROWN APRIL NEWSLETTER
™
Enthusiasm for farmer’s markets and locally grown and made products continues to grow around the state. It’s inspiring to see more quality growers, producers and markets emerging to meet the public’s demand for Arkansas goods. Also, it’s encouraging to see increased awareness of the the Arkansas Grown, Arkansas Made and Homemade by Heroes programs as these continue to help connect consumers to our local producers...all good news for our state. -Wes Ward Secretary of Agriculture
