The Mountain Home Farmers Market opens for the 2026 season this Saturday, bringing fresh produce, baked goods and local vendors back to the corner of Fifth Street and Shiras Avenue in downtown Mountain Home.
The market will run every Wednesday and Saturday from 7 a.m. to noon through the end of November.
Jeff Quick, president and CEO of the Food Bank of North Central Arkansas, said the market is once again being coordinated in partnership with the City of Mountain Home. He said vendor registration is on pace with last year, with roughly 160 vendors signed up for the season.
“Not every vendor is there every week, but we have a wide variety of fresh produce, plant starts at the early portion of our market,” Quick said. “We’ve got all kinds of different craft items and home goods, soaps and different items like that, as well as fresh baked products, whether it be breads or pies, different desserts.”
Quick said the market will also feature live music on select Saturdays throughout the season.
The market will again partner with the Department of Human Services to offer the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program. Eligible residents age 60 and older who meet income guidelines can receive a $50 coupon book to spend on fresh produce from participating vendors.
Vendors are still being accepted for the upcoming season. Booth space is available for $10 per day or $100 for the full season. Those interested can apply at the Food Bank of North Central Arkansas or call 870-499-7565 for more information.
