Customer Notice- During our board meeting this week, RCM approved the decision to update market policy so that both customers and vendors are participating equally in our online food system. Starting this week, the market charges will be 10% for farmers and 10% for customers. This update will not only allow equal participation on both sides of the market, but will help to fund operating expenses for our year-round market. Questions or comments may be sent to russellvillecommunitymarket@gmail.com.
Thank you for supporting local food and craft products in Russellville and the Arkansas River Valley!

Greener Acres Farm: Online Market Closure
It is with great regret that I inform you this will be the last week for the online farm market. This was not an easy decision to make, but with my increasing health problems, it has come to the point that I can no longer continue. Please be assured that any orders placed this week will be filled and delivered as usual.
I apologize that it is such short notice. I will be refunding the pro-rated amounts of the remainder of your membership fees and for those with credits on their account balances, those will be refunded as well. You will each receive an email containing the exact amounts in the following days.
It has been a pleasure providing you with this service and I feel I have made a lovely circle of friends. In the end, I have to be a bit selfish and think of my own health as I move forward.
Thank you all for your incredible support.
