local farmers market - a neighborhood community service to all who visits

I am always trying to find fresh honey, nuts and various ingredients to make my homemade granola.  This past weekend I decided to visit the wonderful Hillcrest Farmer's Market.  This awesome little market is a Community Service of Pulaski Heights Baptist Church, 

I enjoyed visiting with the Local Farmers who travel  throughout Arkansas to feature their homegrown vegetables, fruits, soaps, breads and even beautiful Art.  Ellyse and Ethan,  brother and sister, share this wonderful booth.  Ellyse's  offers beautiful art made with pin and ink, and watercolors.  She also does custom home portraits as well as custom cards along with her beautiful prints she has in stock.   Ellyse's Studio Arts can be found at http://www.ellysesstudioarts.com/   or on Facebook at:  https://www.facebook.com/ellysesstudioarts/  
Ethan is the baker of the two.   In fact, his breads were all sold out by the time I got there.  I will definitely be going back to pick up a loaf of this wonderful bread.   Ethan Frazier, Heirloom Kitchens Bakery and Plants can be found on his Facebook Page at: https://www.facebook.com/EthansHeirloomGardens/

I spoke with the gentleman that had the perfect honey I was looking for.   Sun Harvest Honey, located in North Little Rock, Arkansas. Pat Cullivan has been harvesting bees since 2008.  He manages his own hives and his honey is unfiltered raw and 100% pure.  I can not wait to try this in my next batch of granola.

Be sure and take your spouse, kids and event pets as you walk around this beautiful Market.  There are many other vendors and you can grab a bite to eat from the local food truck.  I can't believe this is the first time for me to visit this wonderful market.  Arkansas is known as the Natural State not just for the amazing parks, lakes and streams but also for the Arkansas Grown Markets. 

This wonderful Market was started as an Outreach Ministry and Mission for the Church in 2010.  A wonderful contribution to the Hillcrest Neighborhood located at 2200 Kavanaugh Blvd.  Opened year round, it operates on Saturday mornings.   May - September Season hours are from 7 AM to Noon.   The October-April Season is from 8 AM to Noon.  

I will be visiting this Market regularly from now on.  However, I will go first thing so I can catch some of the wonderful baked goods!   Be sure and visit the Market's website at:  http://www.phbclr.com/about/guest-info/hillcrest-farmers-market/   to sign up as a Merchant or Volunteer.
