We are a small urban farm in Conway, Arkansas that grows vegetables, herbs and flowers.
Our Mission:
1. Produce quality, healthy and nutritious food.
2. Be a positive influence on the local food system.
3. Create community through growing and sharing food.
What do we mean by #foodvibrations?
#foodvibrations is a fun hashtag that we like to use to describe our farm. It means a lot of different things to us! Our logo for the farm is a ringing or "vibrating" bell (imagine back in the day when you rang the dinner bell to bring in the family for dinnertime). By growing and sharing healthy food, we like to think of our farm as a central location that is sending out good vibrations or ripples into the surrounding community. Be sure to use the #foodvibrations hashtag if you ever post a picture of our farm on social media! Also, if our farm had a theme song, we like to think that it would be a parody of Good Vibrations by the Beach Boys :)
