Meet Your Farmer
Today will be the first of a new feature introducing the farmers who offer products on Foothills Market.
Justin Lowe – Rural Route Farms
Justin Lowe, owner of Rural Route Farms, offers local honey in different size containers, including the always-popular “honey bear.” Justin has been a full-time beekeeper for five years. Rural Route Farms not only sells honey but also sells queen bees and nucs (a beginning set of bees) to establish new beehives. Justin has nearly 500 beehives throughout Johnson, Pope, and Yell counties. Turn to Rural Route Farm if you want to gain the many health benefits of honey and also know that you are getting 100 percent raw honey – which is not guaranteed when you buy honey in a store.
