Helping to connect consumers with growers in the state, the Arkansas Grown program provides an online directory of suppliers that any Arkansas grower can join.

The program, administered through the Arkansas Department of Agriculture, began in 2012 to promote Arkansas-grown ag products, according to the state’s website.

The website was developed by the Arkansas Department of Agriculture to help buyers locate Arkansas producers. The searchable website, featuring nearly 800 ag producers as of May 2021, is arkansasgrown.org.
