Arkansas Foods
Buying and eating local foods is not only better for the environment and your wallet, but it is better for your taste buds as well. Locally grown foods are picked at their peak and sold within a couple of days. This ensures you are getting not only the maximum amount of vitamins and minerals, but maximum taste as well. Not only can you buy locally grown produce, but many local farmer's also sell foods such as meats, cheeses, breads, and honey.
