In brief, it’s open Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. You should enter and exit in marked areas, follow CDC guidelines and social distance, don’t touch hands in transactions, no dogs, electronic payment encouraged, don’t come if you’re ill or at risk.

Will the market be open this Saturday, August 1st?
Yes ma’am!
After checking mysaline.com, we drove from Bryant to Farmers Market on Saturday, July 11th at 8:30. There was no one there and no sign to indicate why. The internet offers the ability to post instant changes to what are normally weekly activities. It would have been greatly appreciated.
Hi Gail, I’m sorry you had that experience. We didn’t get notice from Benton Parks about that, but we did find out that one of the vendors tested positive for COVID-19. We also posted about the Bryant farmers market last week, hopefully you saw that one!
Does anyone know if Benton farmer market will be open tomorrow July 18th?
