Hi! I moved to NW AR last November and have been trying to find a community as well! I rent a house east of Fayetteville with a nice size but abandoned garden my roommate and I have been able to plant a bit. I think we should start something! I've been looking through the farmers markets, and this intentional community website, but haven't reached out at all yet.
