With 132 vendors for the 2025 season, the Mountain Home Farmer’s Market has proven to be a powerful resource for area residents. Vendors and volunteers work to raise money and food to provide meals in partnership with The Food Bank of North Central Arkansas (FBNCA). 76 of those vendors are permanent through the season, while other vendors set up as their more seasonal goods.
With this years season enough money has been raised at this point to provide 112,000 meals. The market has also seen $3,325 worth of SNAP Benefits used to purchase the fresh food items eligable. From organic raise produce to arts and crafts the Farmer’s Market offers the residents of the area a unique and locally connected shopping experience
