Cottontown!

Hello! You all probably received an invitation to attend the Cottontown Brews Festival….and I wanted to give you a little bit more info about it….specifically the fact that it is a fund raiser for the Paris Arkansas Farmers Market Association! PAFMA will receive all proceeds from this event, and hopes to build an even stronger local foods program in our community!

We are working on the Entrepreneur’s Kitchen at sweet pickins, where locals will be able to rent or borrow commercial kitchen space/time to produce items for resale which are required to be produced in a commercial kitchen!

We are also working on putting a volunteer group together to “glean” items from farmers market at the end of markets days, where we would take any donations from farmers that they have left after market closes, and distribute to families in need and/or process (freeze, can, etc) them into food items we can distribute to our area through our commercial kitchen!

Please consider coming to our awesome event that will include Arkansas Breweries, Arkansas Food Trucks, Lots of local music and a mini farm and craft market! It is sure to be one of the best events of the year, so don’t miss out! Follow the link in the eventbrite email to purchase tickets or use this one:
