Your connection to all things locally grown and raised

The Northwest Arkansas Local Food Network (NWALFN) is a nonprofit that connects our community to fresh local food and the farmers who grow it through education, outreach, and storytelling.

We envision a Northwest Arkansas where local food is a cornerstone of community life - where consumers are knowledgeable, farmers thrive, and fresh local food is accessible to all.
