We had always dreamed of having chickens, but our busy work schedules wouldn’t allow it. Then March 2020 happened and 6 baby chicks found their way into our hearts and den. A neighbor “saved” a baby duck and added Quarintina to the brooder in our den and the rest is history! Our 3 young sons have learned so much by building the coops, feeding and watering the flock, gathering eggs, watching mommas sit and babies hatch, holding all the babies, delivering eggs to friends, and have experienced so much joy watching the ducks waddle to and from the pond and the chickens play in the yard. 

Our birds free range, but start their day with a few handfuls of their favorite dried mealworms and scratch. They have Nutrena and Ranch Pro crumbles always in their feeders, but their favorite foods are fresh watermelon and corn that they eat right out of the boys' hands. Our eggs are not only beautiful, but they also taste excellent. Duck eggs make all of your baked goods so fluffy and light! You won’t want to go back once you taste the difference!

In 2007, Spence & Carla started Across the Creek Farm with 30 hens and a overgrown piece of land in a holler south of Fayetteville. Spence started clearing land, using sweat and a chainsaw to flush out a combat tour in Iraq as an Army machine gunner.

Over a decade later, the power of poultry, pasture, movement, and a great family to produce a ultra-local, radically better tasting bird is well-known in Northwest Arkansas. Their flocks are fed locally milled Non-GMO feed made from Arkansas grains and all the bugs and greens they can eat. They move their birds every day, and this commitment to movement not only means lots of grass and bugs for the birds to eat, but also a clean place to live so no need for the typical crazy antibiotics or off-label drugs. In 2016, they partnered with B&R Processing in Winslow to build a USDA inspected poultry processing operation, and they hand-butcher and air-chill their own birds weekly.

Their chicken, pork, and eggs are used across NWA by the families and chefs that want the best chicken available, not just a laundry list of deceptive packaging claims. When you buy from Across the Creek Farm, you buy the best from a neighbor family, and they appreciate it!

I am originally from Bethany, Oklahoma, and now live in Fort Smith, AR. I have always loved art. When I was a child my favorite gift was a new box of crayons and a coloring book. Around the age of 7, I asked my dad how to draw a tree. He showed me and that started my love of drawing trees. When drawing, I love trees and when painting, I love clouds.

My background is in recreational therapy. I worked as the assistant executive director at the Oklahoma Foundation for the Disabled. I found this was where my heart belonged. I continued over the years to work with people with disabilities. I gained so much knowledge from these individuals and am thankful for the time I was able to work with this population. I am now retired, and volunteer at the ARC of River Valley, here in Fort Smith.

Jessica Blanzy a native of River Valley, Jim a transplant from the midwest found a love for the city of Fort Smith and all it has to offer. Jessica and Jim met through a mutual friend and have been together ever since. Jim has a passion for cooking and loves to experiment with food. He was unable to find the mushrooms he was interested in so we started growing mushrooms in our home during Covid.

In the fall of 2021, the hunt for a bigger space to grow for the public started. We searched for just the right place and after several months signed a lease in January of 2022.

Jessica handles the operations side of the mushrooms and Jim handles all maintenance and engineering requirements for the farm.

We have definitely been enjoying our time so far as mushroom farmers and being able to provide a locally sourced product to our community.

Goaty goodness is built on a desire for safe healthy options for you, the people you love, your pets, and the planet.  

Our heart at Goaty Goodness is to make sure the products we create have goodness at their core. We have purposefully chosen each ingredient that goes into every bar of soap we make, with your health in mind. Our promise to you is if we don’t want it on our bodies it will not go on yours. 

Goaty Goodness is run by a mother, daughter, and niece team who are backed and supported in every way by an amazing family! We are located in Pocola, Oklahoma on a multigenerational farm that has been in the family for over 60 years. We use sustainable practices on our farm. Those include rotational grazing and free-choice minerals. We are honored to bring the quality milk we enjoy daily, to you through our goat milk soap.

All Our Soaps Have a Goat Milk Base

Goat milk is rich in both saturated and unsaturated fats, making it ideal for soap production. Saturated fats increase a soap’s lather — or production of bubbles — while unsaturated fats provide moisturizing and nourishing properties. Goat Milk, one of nature’s finest moisturizers, contains alpha-hydroxy acids and vitamins A & D brighten the skin. Because of its unique short protein strand structure, the abundance of natural minerals and vitamins in our goat's milk is easily absorbed into your skin, helping to moisturize, protect, and heal.

We use only fresh goats milk from our herd that is raised on organically maintained pastures. We use sustainable practices of rotational grazing, and in addition they have access to clean water and 20 free choice minerals at all times. These are practices that are good for the goats, good for the land which ultimately means that it is good for your skin.

Additionally, we use plant-based organic olive and organic coconut oil to further increase the content of healthy, nourishing fats. The olive oil has hydrophilic antioxidants that help to form a protective barrier, trapping moisture on your skin and allowing for longer hydration. Coconut oil contains cleansing properties as well as antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral properties which may be helpful in a wide range of skin conditions, including eczema, acne, and psoriasis. We use only cold pressed certified organic oils to ensure only the best for your skin.

We will end with a quick note about fragrance oils. While we understand this isn’t the choice of every natural skin care user, we provide “clean” fragrance oils for those who are trying to cross over into healthier options, but aren’t quiet ready to give up all the fragrance yet.

We have chosen to use packaging methods that do not create waste for future generations. We use glass, metal, and paper whenever possible to ensure that we are keeping our environmental footprint low. 

When shrink wrapping our soaps we use a breakthrough technology called Biolefin which completely breaks down 18 months from when it hits the landfill.

For our online store we have chosen to use biodegradable packing peanuts that are made from corn and potato starch that dissolve in water, and the second best part of the packing peanuts is that they are made right here in the USA.

When you support us you are helping us make a difference for our planet and future generations.

Grange Therapie Red Wolf Ranch body products are often 100% plant, being scented with 100% essential oil, while the cured cold process Savon is scented with human-made fragrance.

"We're seeding our land with native forage for fruit trees and comparing flavor and the ranching experience of heritage versus non-heritage goats for tender red meat steak and stew. Future quail will also make for easy weekday meals. Seeing Mon Amour on her eggs with fuzzy chicks under her wings weeks later and Coq Au Vin courting her is the wilderness experience that brings meaning to our part in meals for northwest Arkansas."

Thomas and Amber Parham grew up in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains and the River Valley. They have been raising chickens for eggs since he brought home the first four fuzzy chicks over 20 years ago. Gradually, their flock grew to include heritage and old breeds that lay a rainbow of egg colors. They have been beekeepers since 2018 when she ordered their first colony while he was gone to an Army school. Fortunately, he enjoyed beekeeping too and they are still at it. They sell honey and solid lotion bars and other products made with beeswax.  

In 2020 they moved to their current location, near Paris, Arkansas where they are implementing regenerative farming practices on a 5-acre piece of old farmland. They believe that good, nutritious food is grown close to home, and that farming means good stewardship and making the soil better than they found it. Their chickens are moved to fresh pasture at least once a day where they can scratch the dirt and eat bugs. They are fed a vegetarian feed blend.

Established in 1934, House of Webster celebrated their 80th anniversary in 2014. That gave us an opportunity to take a look at our rich history...

The company was started by the husband and wife team Roy and Evelynn Webster. Roy worked his local newspaper route and sold milk, cakes, donuts, pies and other delicious items baked by his wife. By 1941, the Webster family and their delicious homemade goods were being sold to a local Freight company as gifts to their employees at the holidays. This began the long tradition of gifting at House of Webster.

Starting in the 1970's, House of Webster placed a strong emphasis on building their gift business. As we headed into the 1990's and 2000's, House of Webster established themselves as a national player in the wholesale jams and jellies market.

As we have hit our stride in 2022 and beyond, House of Webster continues to produce the highest quality jams, jellies, preserves, fruit spreads, fruit butters, relishes, salsas, mustards, syrups, BBQ sauces and pickled products. We continue to feature our delicious products in many unique gourmet food gifts.

Marshies marshmallows actually began a few years ago as a nameless labor of love for fellow church members who loved marshmallows but had difficulty finding a brand that didnt use pork gelatin. Fast forward to today and the small business Marshies sprung up not only as a way for a new mother  to have flexibility in her work schedule, but also to provide others around the area with a product that they too might have had a hard time finding. Marshies gourmet marshmallows are  home made without corn syrup and as mentioned with beef gelatin. They also don't have any additional food colorings. Follow our Facebook page to get more information on new flavors or even cool marshmallow facts! As we strive to grow Marshies hopes to give back to the community by donating to different non-profit organizations. Thank you for Supporting my small business:)

Natural Dam Pastures was started in 2021 by Zac and Abby Corter and Shaun and Jennifer Senter. In 2017, Zac and Abby Corter and their two sons started with a small 4-acre farm in Garfield Arkansas, and started growing Mangalitsa pigs and chickens to sell to friends and family.

Influenced by Joel Salatin with the regenerative permaculture and wanting the best food for their children, Shaun and Jennifer decided they wanted to partner with Zac and Abby to make a dream of raising their own organic meat possible. The farm moved to Natural Dam Pastures in 2021 where Zac and Abby live.

Currently, the farm has pasture-raised Mangalitsa pigs and chickens. Animals are raised in pastures without antibiotics and hormones. They live happily in their natural environment which, as we know, is under the beautiful sky and natural sunlight that grows lush green grass here in Arkansas.

Creating Natural State Beverage Company was never a linear line for Krista and Ty Cloud. It all began with a passion for brewing kombucha and craft soda at home and their love for the outdoors. 

They were hosting a grassroots biking event when they realized that their homemade drinks were very popular and could be more than just a hobby. 

Starting in their kitchen and with their two young children, they began crafting flavors that were made with real ingredients and appealed to the whole family. 

The Cloud family launched their first products in the fall of 2021 at the Bentonville Farmers Market and other local breweries/shops. A year later they moved into their own production facility in downtown Rogers. Beginning with raw ingredients, packaging and distribution the entire process is entirely run by the owners. Each flavor has been uniquely crafted with real ingredients with the goal of being your new favorite local craft soda and/or kombucha.

Natural Way fit the lifestyle of its two founders, Austin and Quinn. As the company launched in the middle of 2018, placing an emphasis on eating healthy and environmental sustainability was very important. We also ate a LOT of nut butter. We saw a void for flavorful nut butters that offered little sugar and that didn’t have palm oil. Making our nut butter with olive oil allowed for a sustainable and healthy option! We were passionate about bringing high quality and unique products that represented the Natural Way brand and that passion made launching Natural Way together a lifelong dream come true.

Welcome to our kitchen! We are grateful you found us and anxious for you to see what has made us the favorite local source of handmade pastas since 1977. We are a small family-owned shop located in the heart of Tontitown, Arkansas. In case you haven't sensed it yet, we are passionate about our gourmet pasta, still made in the old-world tradition with the highest quality ingredients. Now we are offering our handcrafted pastas all around the world through our online store. If you haven't tried it yet, you'll be pleasantly surprised with how amazing pasta should taste!

The Ingredients:

Pozza’s Artisan Handcrafted Italian Pasta is handmade daily by us in small batches, using locally sourced fresh eggs and a specially milled unbleached flour sourced from high-quality American farms that create the perfect texture in a pasta - not too hard, not too soft. We have perfecting dough kneading and do it minimally to achieve the perfect consistency. The pasta dough is then hand pressed over and again into sheets until it forms into the perfect thickness for our specialty noodles. Pozza's has no added salt, oils, preservatives, chemicals or additives. Just natural fresh ingredients, made in the old style. 

The Pasta Dies (Extruders):

As pasta artisans, we shape and form our fresh pasta dough using traditional bronze die cuts, which create a distinct porous texture on the pasta, far different than commercially made noodles. This texturing allows the pasta to retain more sauce beautifully, leading to a robust, flavorful experience. Commercially produced pasta is extruded and shaped through plastic Teflon dies which create a smooth surface pasta that releases most of its starch into the water and doesn’t absorb the sauce.

The Drying Process:

Just like our Italian ancestors, we slowly air dry our pasta at low temperatures on wooden racks, not overly-dried with microwaves as in commercial processing. This creates a perfect outer crust on the surface of the pasta. The result is a full-flavored pasta because the integrity of the wheat and fresh ingredients have been preserved, naturally! Unlike commercially produced pastas, no chemicals or high-heat processes are used to speed up the drying time.

At Pozza's, we are passionate about making pasta an extraordinary eating experience and here’s why – the kitchen is the gathering spot for families and friends alike, and for good reason. It’s where stories are told, hearts meld, and memories are created – all around a flavorful dish of pasta. We are delighted to share the bold, beautiful flavors of true old-world Italy with you through our line of Pozza’s Artisan Handcrafted Italian Pastas. We hope you enjoy eating our pasta as much as we enjoy making it!

Welcome to our kitchen and buon appetit!

Puddin Ridge Llamas and Alpacas is a small rescue farm. We work closely with Southeast Llama Rescue. Born from the rescue and the shearing that must occur yearly, a fiber business emerged. We also have a group of local llama and alpaca owners who work together to support one another and educate the public about the animals. Among the group are folks who do not use their fiber, so that fiber is also “rescued” into the business. All the llama and alpaca fiber in the shop is locally sourced. We do all we can to provide the best homes for needy animals. Sales of fiber help offset the costs of the animals and allow us to continue to spread the joy of llamas and alpacas and how best to care for them. We also use other types of fibers for various products: roving, mill spun and home-spun yarn, handwoven scarves, shawls, and rugs as well as other miscellaneous fiber-related items.

We formulate high-quality nutrient-dense skincare designed for any condition and carry products for any of your routine needs. Our mission is to provide 100% clean skincare you can trust at an affordable price.

Our line includes high-quality lip balms, tallow butter, medicinal salves, herbal skincare, CBD bath bombs, products for outdoor lovers, and custom gift sets. All products are made in small batches and with tons of love!

Rene Herd, originally from Ohio, moved to Arkansas in the late 70s and has been a resident of Greenwood for the last 30 years. She learned to sew the summer after 5th grade and continued to sew clothing throughout her high school home economics class. At that point, she realized she had no interest in sewing clothing, but found she had a love for mixing colors and putting together patterns. Rene has been making quilts for 30+ years. Her goal is to sell just enough to feed her addiction to the craft.

Rene is married and has 2 daughters. In addition to quilting, she also enjoys crocheting, knitting, quilling, and several other miscellaneous crafts.

Rene hopes that anyone who has one of her quilts is able to enjoy it as much as she enjoyed making it!

Rustic Strength is a family-owned and operated company. 

Our beliefs are simple, what you pour into the earth you will get out of the earth. My husband and I created Rustic Strength out of a need to reduce harmful chemicals out of our families lives. 

My son started showing signs of sensitivities at the age of 18 months. He collapsed in his Aunt Beth's arms one day on the way to church. We rushed him to the hospital. We went six months without finding answers. He then started having other issues relating to his skin and lungs. He would have anaphylaxis reactions to random things at random times. We had epi-pens stored everywhere because we just never knew what he was going to react to. We decided to take drastic measures. We removed all the carpet, all fake plants, all feather pillows, and all foods with dyes. We changed all our cleaning products to hypoallergenic and he would still have reactions. We learned so much from chasing his illness. 

I, Alicia, started having endocrine issues around the age of 40. I started looking hard into products along with the food that I was eating. I am a retired personal trainer so my nutrition was pretty spot on (pollotarian). I took a deeper dive into all the chemicals in my cleaning products, body, and hair care products. I started researching all the chemicals (before it was cool) in all the products. It was hard to find the information needed to make really good decisions. Unlike today where there is a lot of information.

I finally got frustrated enough that my husband and I started experimenting with our own laundry detergent. It took months and months of work to finalize our first real product. We then tested it for over two years before deciding to make a company out of the knowledge we have and the drive to help others lead a better life with better chemicals in there products.

My husband and I knew when we launched our company that we wanted to be different than all the big box store brands. We looked toward our local health food store about starting a refill exchange program. At first, they where not so on board. However, we found another refill shop that was just opening their doors and we aligned perfectly with each others mission.  

We offered a close the loop program with all of our customers from the conception of our business. We didn't have to be asked to change our manufacturing procedures. We had in place a lot of sustainable practices and we keep finding new ways to help reduce our impact on the environment.

Our goal is to provide clean, safe products for you and your family. Using only certified, clean scents and essential oils, our products are free from phthalates and carcinogens. These soy blend candles are hand-poured, small batch, and locally made. 

Seed and Seal was established in the spring of 2020 when we found ourselves with an abundance of time and land. For many generations, my family has been in some form of agriculture, and I wanted to introduce my children to the lifestyle. We bought a few cows, ordered some baby chicks, and plowed up a half acre for a vegetable and cut flower garden. We planted all our vegetables from seed, harvested them, and canned the extra for winter. Our name is a play off taking things from the seeds we planted to sealing the jars for preserving, and of course, our last name played a big part. 

In the summer of 2022, we were relocated from upstate SC to Van Buren, AR. We still have our farm in SC, but our beloved chickens moved to AR with us. We are honored to be able to offer you our fresh free-range eggs! Our girls have a secure coop and large run to keep them safe during the night and while we aren’t home, but they do free-range when we are. We aren’t brand loyal to a particular feed, but always seek out the most nutrient-dense option from the local feed and seed. Our girls also love the veggie and fruit scraps they get daily along with homemade suet cakes and scratch.

From our coop to your table…we hope you enjoy the eggs. 
The Seal Family

Our cattle are raised in Mulberry Arkansas without the use of antibiotics or hormones. We have been raising cattle for 15 years, and it has only been grass fed. With grass fed beef your are going to get higher amounts antioxidants, vitamins, and CLA. In turn you are getting a more tender, juicy and sweet meat.

About 5 years ago, a love for baking turned into more than a hobby as my children jumped headfirst into the world of competitive sports. We learned as a family how to adjust recipes to make them our own and were even able to incorporate recipes passed down for generations. We now bake as a family and love the togetherness it provides.

As the world around us has abruptly changed, we have adapted and begun to learn a new skill, canning! We are able to create our own delicious foods that can be stored for times when fresh produce is not available and my children are learning a skill that is dying. It is our hope that more people can learn to do this and be able to sustain themselves in this everchanging economy.

All of our products are baked, canned, and packaged in our home in Ozark, AR. God’s blessing of our beautiful community provides an understated atmosphere of kindness, grace, and love we intend to share through all of our products. We can be contacted through email at jennifer.wachtendorf@yahoo.com for direct orders.

*In an effort to reduce waste we ask that jars and rings be returned after use.

Sprigz Farms was established with a simple question: “What can we do to help everyone get away from processed foods?” Our answer was to make our own organically grown foods.

Our mission is to bring healthy, organically grown foods to everyone we can reach. The vision could not be possible without our loyal customers. The company was founded with YOU, the people in mind.

Bart and Pam Petray's mission is to provide only the best, most natural meats possible and still have the tenderness that rivaled corn-fed. Since their first few cows, they have expanded to include non-GMO pork, non-GMO chicken, and non-GMO eggs. Neither Bart nor Pam grew up on a farm, but it is in their hearts to provide meat and egg choices that are “clean and lean”. Their livestock are fed grass, hay, a mineral mix that they mix themselves, fresh water, and lots of growing time. No antibiotics, hormones, steroids, or other chemicals are fed to their animals. They are raised humanely in a calm and peaceful manner. If you are looking for an outstanding meat experience, try Top O'The Mount Farm and let your tongue do the deciding.
