The Little Rock Farmers Market is introducing "Veggie Valet" this season.
It's a free drop-off and pick-up service for shoppers who buy items and then wish to have them held while continuing to shop or retrieving their car.
The Farmers Market opens on Tuesday in the River Market's two outdoor, open-air pavilions overlooking Riverfront Park and the Arkansas River. Hours are 7AM to 3PM.
The "Veggie Valet" service begins April 28 and will run Saturdays ONLY from 7 AM - 1 PM through the end of peak Farmers Market season.
It's located in front of Shop the Rock.
Shoppers may drop off their purchases and have them loaded into their vehicle at the designated curbside pick-up area. Check slips will be provided to shoppers to ensure produce and other market goods make it home with their rightful owner.
The Farmers Market is patronized by locals and tourists alike and has served as a seasonal institution and local destination favorite for more than three decades.
Filled with farmers selling farm-fresh produce straight to consumers from the backs of their trucks from early morning until mid-afternoon every April through October, patrons can find bargains on Arkansas crops as well as a bountiful array of handmade arts and crafts.
Among the list of fresh produce you'll find: peaches, eggplant, strawberries, watermelon, beans, peas, corn, herbs, plants, greens, tomatoes, plums, berries, goat cheese, beets, cucumbers, peppers, potatoes, squash, asparagus, eggs, cabbage, broccoli, zucchini, cherries, lettuce, onions, spinach, and radishes.
