Turtle Island G.K. appreciates everyone who has stopped by the table to purchase, ask questions, say HI, or get a hug 🫶🏾.

One thing we absolutely love about West Little Rock Farmers Market is that they give vendors a space to showcase their items; they bring in music and family fun things to help traffic, and the staff are always a call away or a call for help! 😂

The second thing I love is the vendors; everyone shares information and offers pointers and ideas to help each other succeed.

It's like this basket of tomatoes. The basket is just the placeholder. The vine produced all sizes & colors of tomatoes. When you pick them, what are you doing differently to get your tomatoes picked from the basket? I’ve discovered it could be something as simple as a smile & how are you doing. ☺️ may help.

(Sidenote-folks have been farming, gardening, beekeeping, and producing since before I was born, and holding markets.) NOTHING is new under the sun & none of us created anything! But it's ENOUGH for us all to sustain.

See you guys again in September!! We're sowing fall crops 🌱!!
