Cobblestone Farms

What Cobblestone Farms does

Cobblestone Farms is a Northwest Arkansas-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2013 that operates a sustainable working farm in Fayetteville, AR, and a satellite microfarm in Springdale, AR. Its mission is to address regional food insecurity by growing fresh produce — 34,272 lbs donated in 2025 — through chemical-free methods including crop rotation, cover cropping, composting, drip irrigation, integrated pest management (biopesticides and beneficial insects), and pollinator strips. The organization sells seasonal produce directly to consumers via Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) shares and donates the majority of its output to local food pantries, the NWA Food Bank, and on-site school pantries.

The organization's product surface spans four areas: (1) the 12-week CSA produce share priced at $400, (2) the Farm to Pantry donation program distributing produce across Benton, Washington, Carroll, and Madison counties, (3) the Treehouse Pantry Microfarm — a 1/4-acre lot with two 85-foot high tunnels that supplies Springdale Schools' Treehouse Pantry — and (4) educational workshops and Camp Cobblestone. CSA pickup is available at the main farm, Basecamp Coffee in Fayetteville, and Two Friends Bookstore in Bentonville. Customer segments are dual: paying CSA subscribers and food-insecure individuals/families receiving donated produce, with a deliberate focus on culturally relevant crops for Hispanic/Latinx and Marshallese communities.

Cobblestone Farms is funded through a mix of CSA subscription revenue, workshop fees ($40 per Camp Cobblestone ticket), and institutional contributions from named partners including Walmart, Campbell's, UAMS, and Dentsu. Operational capacity is small (1–10 employees) and the organization is independently governed by a Board of Directors with no parent company or outside equity. Strategic focus over the past two years has been scaling production output, expanding the satellite farm under new management, and broadening pickup/distribution points within the four-county NWA service area.
