We welcome Kathy Hader to the show.

If you live in Northwest Arkansas and have noticed increased prices produce isle, you're not alone—it's a real trend that many people are experiencing. When you buy a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) membership, even though you pay up front, it costs a lot less than at the grocery store. You’re helping a local farmer avoid debt. You’re making it possible for them to plan their season with confidence instead of anxiety. Your grocery dollars stay in this community instead of leaving it. And you get veggies delivered to your door the same day they were picked.

Kathy grows 30 different varieties of heirloom vegetables on her farm in Eureka Springs. Kathy's goal is to be able to feed 40 families this season. You can reach Kathy and sign up for the CSA using her website https://haderfarm.com.

So much fun this weekend around NWA. Recap of the Lunar New Year Show at the Fayetteville Library Auditorium. Making valentines at the Momentary.
