CUSTOMERS. Ordering fresh food and locally made goods from Arkansas farmers and artisans is easy! 

Step1: Register as a Customer. 

Step 2: Join our Email List to stay informed about Market events and news.

HOW IT WORKS:

• Order from Sunday at noon through Wednesday at noon.
• Shop conveniently from your mobile device or computer. Add items to your cart and select "checkout." Don't worry if you forget a few things and need to come back - you can edit your order until the market closes at noon on Wednesday. Payment occurs after pick up.
• You can pay with cash or check or charge to the credit card kept securely on file within your account. All accounts require a credit card to sign up. NOTE: During COVID circumstances we prefer to charge your card on file. If you need to make alternative payment arrangements you must contact us prior to pick up.
• We offer four pickup options from two convenient Little Rock locations:
  • Christ Episcopal Church downtown (509 Scott Street, LR, AR 72201): Saturday 10 AM - 12 PM, Sunday 11:45 AM - 12:10 PM, or Monday 5 - 6 PM. NOTE: Due to COVID-19 Sunday and Monday pick-ups are temporarily closed. 
  • St. Margaret's Episcopal Church in West Little Rock (20900 Chenal Pkwy, LR, AR 72223): Saturday 11 AM - 1 PM. 

MEMBERSHIP OPTIONS:

On your second order, you have the option to join. Members support our market while receiving a better price on local goods. You can join for one year for $60 or for one month for $7.50. You also have the option to register as an Occasional Shopper for free, but if you plan on using our market regularly you can save money by becoming a member. Member and initial order prices are discounted by 7%.

BEFORE YOU SHOP OR JOIN:

Check the producer profiles so you know how growers raise their vegetables and animals. Some are chem free, some are organic, and some are conventional. Know your farmer; know your food. 

Also, please note our fee structure: Monday and WLR orders incur a $2.50 fee. NOTE: Monday pick-up is temporarily closed.  There is a small ($0.50) charge for credit and debit card sales. 

As a non-profit organization focusing on farm viability and access to fresh food, we function on a shoestring budget. The totality of our operations relies on memberships, 16% of sales, and donations. Nominal fees help us break even - primary expenses include rent, one part-time Market Manager who coordinates the on-line market and purchasing for Green Groceries, annual insurance fees, and other reasonable expenses (office supplies, payroll taxes, etc.).

The ALFN online farmers market has enhanced the viability of Arkansas farms and small businesses by enabling direct marketing through an online platform since 2007. We also partner with Green Groceries, a fresh, local food pantry, to provide low income families with access to fresh foods. Unlike most community-supported agriculture (CSA) programs, our market gives you the ability to get exactly what you want from farms and vendors. All of the products listed on our market are locally grown or locally produced. All of our farmers produce food right here in Arkansas, with the exception of Ratchford Farms who has land in Arkansas and Missouri. Our locally made products are made from local and non-local ingredients. If you try our market and love it, or even if it's not for you, let us know. We also want to know if you obtain an unsatisfactory product from our market. Contact us anytime. We welcome your feedback and participation.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Every week, we rely on volunteers to run our four order pickup options. Check our signup.com page to see which shifts are available and sign up to save your spot. PERKS: Volunteers claim $5 in market credit or a month of membership ($7.50 value) for each shift they work.

If you aren't available for the volunteer opportunities on signup.com, email littlerockfoodclub@gmail.com to learn about other ways you can help. We would love to meet you!
