Homegrown: This week’s Farmers Market

Local farmers and artisans are gathering again this week to share their craft with the community at the Murphy Arts District Farmers Market.

This week, the MAD Farmers Market is featuring P&L Farms and Honey Rock Handcrafts.

P&L Farms, based in the areas of Junction City, Ark. and Spearsville, La., is a family farm owned by the Hamakers. They specialize in produce and cattle.

Honey Rock Hand Craft, out of Louisiana, will feature rocking chairs and other woodworks at this week’s market. According to their Facebook page, the artisans behind Honey Rock use century-old sunken Cypress wood straight from the swamps of Louisiana in their bespoke crafts, giving each piece its own story.

The MAD Farmers Market is held on the covered walkway between the MAD Amphitheater and Playscape, at 105 E. Locust. Shoppers will be required to follow some guidelines to protect themselves, vendors and other customers against COVID-19, including:No dogs
