We love local everything. Our love affair started many years ago helping small manufacturers across the state. That passion led us to create Rock City Eats in 2012, a site focusing on local restaurants and food producers all around the state of Arkansas, along with other publications focusing on local food, beer, and arts.
Though we went more of the route focusing on restaurants, our original passion for people making things in this state never ceased, if anything it increased. We found more things we loved in farmers markets, night markets, and little mom and pop shops selling local goods all across the state.
We also found it hard though to shop these local spots. It would require, sometimes, hitting 5-6 different shops in search of one specific item. Worse if it was a farmer’s market good in the middle of the winter. Then COVID-19 hit and our favorite products became even more scarce. It pushed us over the edge to create Rock City Market, a spot where you can shop for local products anytime.
