Rain Barrels and Gardening

As people become more and more conscious of just how finite our resources are, they start looking "outside the box" at ways they can go green, recycle and just in general be better stewards of the world around us.

In addition to the warm and fuzzy feeling of doing something good for the Earth, there is also the economic impact that going green, recycling and being better stewards of the world around us provides. And trust me, there is a lot of money to be saved by doing just a few simple things around your home.

Fishers Feed Shack
Huntsville, AR

A wonderful family run restaurant!

One of the things I enjoy most about my job is coming across these little "mom and pop" type restaurants. You know the kind of place I am talking about, the little family run establishments that every time you go in they know your name and have your drink ready for you.

Well I am here to tell you about one of these little gems I came across recently in Huntsville, Arkansas. And that is Fishers Feed Shack. Lance Fisher (the owner) is one of the friendliest people I have ever met, as is his wife and the rest of his family and staff. So many businesses these days have lost touch with the art of "customer service", and I am proud to say that the folks at Fishers Feed Shack have not! They make each and every customer feel like they are special, which has created a very loyal customer base.

Spiedini's Italian Grill
Fayetteville, AR

I have had the pleasure of eating at this establishment numerous times, and have found the food to be very good overall. And I have had the opportunity to speak to Robert, the owner, also on several occasions.

The one thing I can tell you for sure, is that a restaurant will not succeed unless the owners and staff have a passion for food. That is one of the first key factors in any good eating establishment. And Robert has that passion in spades!

You can tell that he puts the highest priority on his customers getting good quality food, for a reasonable price and backing that up with good service as well.

The Airport Cafe
Springdale, AR

A Foodie Gem!

I am one of those foodies that absolutely loves coming across those little mom and pop restaurants, that are off the regular path. To me, when I can find one of those little gems, it just really excites me as a foodie. Because I know that generally speaking my taste buds are going to be in for a treat, and I am going to get some really great service.

Granted, I have been to a few that just do not make the cut, not even close. And that is really sad, because they have such a great opportunity to connect with their customers and build a relationship with them that will last.

Well, I am here to tell you about one of those mom and pop restaurants that do hit the mark, and do pride themselves on made from scratch food, and top notch customer service. These folks truly care about their customers, and strive to get to know them by name. In today's day and age, how amazing is it when you go into a restaurant or cafe and the staff recognize you, and even remember your likes and dislikes?

Farmers Markets

Farmers markets perform a vital function even in today's fast paced in-and-out of the grocery lifestyle.

First and foremost, they provide us fresh locally grown produce. Which means that the produce you eat today, may have been picked today! It can't get much fresher than that!

Additionally, farmers markets help bolster the local economy. Instead of your dollars going to a vendor/distributor/farmer that is either out of state or out of our own country, you are putting dollars in the pockets of your neighbors. Which in turn means they are going to spend those dollars locally.

And there is also the sociological aspect of a farmers market. Farmers markets provide your community a great means by which to interact with each other. To come together and meet new people and have some fun.

We love to promote farmers markets, and will put their information up in our calendar for FREE. In addition, any farmers markets that want to do advertising on our site will receive a discounted rate, just contact us for more information.
