ARKANSAS GROWN JULY NEWSLETTER
™
The fruits of the growing season are here, and farmers markets are full with red tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, meats and herbs. It’s one of the best times of the year to eat local food. Throughout it all, the Arkansas Agriculture Department supports producers in the Arkansas Grown, Arkansas Made and Homegrown by Heroes programs. These efforts help consumers identify healthy, fresh Arkansas products and support our local economy. -Wes Ward Secretary of Agriculture
