Organic Field Day and Mixer in Arkansas

Join us for an organic field day at the University of Arkansas Vegetable Research Station from 9:00 am – 3:00 pm followed by an Arkansas Grown Organic Buyer/Seller Mixer at 4:30 pm. This event brings together farmers, buyers, and manufacturers from across the state to engage in meaningful discussions about strengthening Arkansas-grown organic products and expanding opportunities within our local and regional markets. Through open dialogue, field insights, and relationship-building, we’ll explore how to better support one another across the supply chain — from seed to shelf.

Whether you’re growing, sourcing, distributing, or developing Arkansas organic products, this Buyer Tour and Mixer is designed to spark new partnerships, share innovative ideas, and shape the next chapter of agriculture in our state.

Come network at our Mixer at 4:30 PM at Fort Smith Brewing Company in Fort Smith.

This event is for organic farmers, those transitioning, and those who are curious about organic production, and organic buyers. Come ready to connect, contribute, and collaborate — the future of Arkansas agriculture starts here.
