The Arkansas Department of Agriculture’s Arkansas Grown program, in partnership with Arkansas agriculture associations and organizations, welcomed attendees to the third Arkansas Grown Conference & Expo! The annual conference is open to all individuals and organizations interested in the state’s largest industry, agriculture, and focuses on education for farmers and producers who grow for our local food system. In addition to the sessions, workshops, and agriculture expo, the 2025 conference concluded with the Arkansas Grown & Arkansas Made Market.  

The Arkansas Grown & Arkansas Made Market was opened to the public and provided the opportunity to sell directly to attendees and consumers. The Market, one of the largest indoor farmer markets filled with hand-made or small-batch goods created by Arkansas producers, makers, and artisans, was a huge success! 

Thank you to the committee members, vendors, and sponsors who supported and was instrumental in the success of the 2025 Arkansas Grown Conference & Expo.
