A Guide to Little Rock's Farmers' Markets
Farmers' market season in Little Rock is the real deal, and you won't want to miss out on a single one.
Whether you're stocking your kitchen with Arkansas-grown produce, hunting for a good jar of local honey, or just looking for a reason to get outside and explore hand-made products, our city's markets have you covered.
Here's where to show up, what to expect, and when to get there.
Little Rock Farmers Market
400 President Clinton Ave | River Market Pavilions | Saturdays, May - August 1| 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.
You should check out every Little Rock farmers' markets this season, but a 'must visit' is the oldest and largest. The Little Rock Farmers Market has been a Saturday tradition in this city for more than 50 years, and it shows. Set in the River Market's open-air pavilions and overlooking Riverfront Park and the Arkansas River, it's been bringing together farmers, makers, artisans, and families to the heart of downtown.
You'll find farm-fresh produce from across the state, locally farmed meats, fresh-baked goods, jams, honey, handmade jewelry, and live music most weekends. Parking is always free for patrons, and with dozens of restaurants and local businesses right nearby, it's easy to turn a quick market run into a full morning out.
West Little Rock Farmers Market
10301 Rodney Parham Rd | Breckenridge Village | Saturdays, April - October | 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Brand new in 2026 and already a west side staple in the making. The West Little Rock Farmers Market was born out of a simple observation: there was no farmers' market west of University Avenue, an area that's home to about two-thirds of Little Rock's residents. Set in the Breckenridge Village parking lot outside The Root Cafe and Film Alley, the market connects West Little Rock residents with local farmers and makers, with fresh produce, pasture-raised meats, breads, honey, flowers, and handcrafted goods, plus live music and cooking demonstrations most weekends. Grab your groceries, get a coffee, and stay a while.
Hillcrest Farmers Market
2200 Kavanaugh Blvd | Hillcrest | Saturdays, Year-Round | 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. (May - Sept), 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. (Oct - April)
The only year-round market on the list, and it is one of the best reasons to get up early on a Saturday. The Hillcrest Farmers Market is a true neighborhood staple, set right in the heart of one of Little Rock's most walkable and beloved neighborhoods. Rain or shine, every Saturday, you'll find local produce, fresh goods, and the kind of familiar faces that make a neighborhood feel like a neighborhood. After you're done shopping, the Heights and Hillcrest areas nearby have no shortage of great spots to grab breakfast or browse local shops.
Bernice Garden Farmers Market
1401 S Main St | South Main (SoMa) | Every Sunday, April - November | 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
If Saturday is for Hillcrest, Sunday is for SoMa. The Bernice Garden Farmers Market runs every Sunday morning from April through November inside one of the most beloved green spaces in the city. It's a little more laid back, a little more artsy, and very much a reflection of the neighborhood it calls home. You'll find fresh produce, local goods, and a crowd that clearly loves this part of Little Rock as much as we do. After the market, SoMa has plenty to keep you busy, from local coffee shops and restaurants to some of the most interesting small businesses in the city.
Dunbar Garden Pay-What-You-Can Market
1720 S Chester St | Dunbar Neighborhood | Wednesdays in June to September | 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
This one is a little different, and that's exactly why it's worth knowing about. The Dunbar Garden's Pay-What-You-Can Market is a community-first market where every purchase goes directly back into providing educational resources and hands-on opportunities in sustainable urban agriculture for youth, families, and the broader community. It's midweek, it's meaningful, and it's a genuine reflection of what makes Little Rock's local food scene worth celebrating. Follow Dunbar Garden on Instagram and Facebook for the latest on what's in season and when they're open.
Five markets, five neighborhoods, five good reasons to get outside. Little Rock's farmers' market scene is as local as it gets, and every visit puts you right in the middle of what makes this city worth exploring. Making a full weekend of it? We've got the hotels, the restaurants, and the attractions to keep you busy long after the market closes.
